aLinux 15.0 / 17.0 Beta 2 user reviews

very good os

Although I thought I was dealing with aLinux15, in fact it was aLive14. Anyway, I burnt it to a disk and loaded it into memory. Once again, as it happens, the resolution wasn't quite up to it - everything seemed to be squashed. I tried to correct it, but since I'm NOT a guru, I didn't succeed. On the postive side, I was surprised, how many useful programs the distro contained. Really surprised. Korganizer was there and generally everything a linusian heart could wish for - with the exception of Gnome commander. I don't know whether it can be added through software-management, I tried but once again I wasn't good enough.

I tried to get onto the internet with firefox - no go. As much as I tried to connect through the network - I failed. How would I know my IP address for example? It's dynamic and it changes every time I eat saurkraut with sausages. In the end I was even asked to make sure "that pppd was installed" because something could not find the ppp daemon. Am I qualified to be a daemon nanny?

All up: a very interesting distro with heaps of useful programs. Me thinks, however, that the last touches need to be applied to bring the distro to the height it really deserves.....

exceeding expectations! Awesome .. highly recommended :) for experts/novices alike.. a fabulous forray into linux OS .. !

I have been using SuSE 10 on one computer, Ubuntu on another, and tyring to find which I liked the best. I tried aLinux 12.6, and after working through the initial install, I have found a KEEPER that will replace SuSE & Ubunto! It is loaded with programs, utilities & advice, and the selection of multimedia programs, including internet tv from around the world is astounding...and the best part is, it works (all of it!), it is fast, and it looks great!

SuSE & Ubunto are fine programs, but until I found aLinux, I was considering dumping them both & just (reluctantly) returing to XP, because they just did not hold my interest.

aLinux has such depth and interesting features. I think you will be pleasatly...astounded!
