Has someone used Ultumix Linux here? While searching I just came across its website mentioned below:

This is the first time I have come to know about this distro and it looks good. Also it is based on Ubuntu. What are your opinions about this distro? If someone of you have used it please inform about it. Thanks:)

I haven't tried it but I don't like the looks of it...

The website is #"¤£$"¤¤!! ugly

There's hardly any info in the wiki other than how much money you save compared to vista...

If they have a live CD though, go ahead, but I'd at least try finding a distro with something that looks like a website..

What did they write this website with?
Frontpage?

No. No. No. and No. This is a terrible distro, just customization, no innovation and they even have given Linux Mint a bad name by leaving Linux Mint's artwork in their distro. Don't touch that distro, the developer doesn't even know how to change the usplash from what I've heard (That was his reason why he didn't remove the Linux Mint name within the distro)

I remember when it started out as a PCLinuxOS remaster. It always seemed like a big mess to me. I wouldn't touch it.

I wouldn't used it just based on the fact that their website is horrendous and lacks the styling of a modern website.

are you sure your not involved with this project? I can't say i see anything compelling about anything at this link. in fact it seems a disgusting example of crass commercialism and poor design. though in all fairness between noscripts and adblock, theres barely any page to view.
