Pinguy OS

[BrokenKingpin]

The review from LAS was positive for sure... so I could see some new interest for this distro. Personally it looks like it has way too much stuff installed out of the box for my liking. I prefer a more minimal install that I can build up myself, but that is just me.

The LAS review did bring up an interesting question though... what will the next Pinguy OS release be running for the DE? It currently uses Gnome2, so will it move on to Gnome3?

I read in a official blog post that Mint will be keeping their "mint desktop" while going over to gtk3 (don't ask me to find it now though)

pinguy could do the same thing I guess, and yes I just wanted the LAS ep, it was very very favorable (quote you have to check this out), heck one of the presenters stated he is dumping his mint install in favor of pinguyOS

I have to admit I like the mint menu but prefer the Ubuntu software center so..... I might even give this a try myself down the road

I just tried it yesterday, June 12, 2011. It's really not too bad! Somethings may be a little over-simplified, but basically it seems sound. To it's credit, the Samba server is pretty much set up and running OTB. It also has a Conky as well! Mr. Pinguy, sir, if you read this I have a suggestion for your site. I know you want to make it easy to download, but with those 2 slideshows running the CPU load on this Intel Duo was about 80 to 100%. That's pretty high for the amount of time it takes to download even the torrent. Maybe move your download page to one without the slideshows. Other than that, Pinguy OS is on my shortlist for Ubuntu alternatives! One note, yes, it does have a lot of pre-installed software, but remember, this is designed for beginners so they have a basic working system. Sometime check out PCLinuxOS KDE Full Monty if you want to see pre-installed software!

Questions:
1. What are you planning to do for your next release in terms of DE - Gnome 3 Shell, Unity or XFCE?

2. If you're not planning to change to Gnome 3 fotr the next release, then when will you switch over to it?

3. Are you planning to have a lightweight version as well?

There is a mini version that fits on a CD. http://forum.pinguyos.com/Thread-pin...ni-11-04--1240
