Pinguy OS

[teh'p3nsi0n3r]

Tried Pinguy OS, Very impressed, nice list of apps, only issue is that I had to try this on my laptop which (ethernet and wireless) is broken. xD

If you made a 32bit flavour I would seriously consider using this on my desktop. Seems you have a few folk interested in a 32bit version. Nice job mate.

Very interesting...

Useless, just another Ubuntu respin. Congratulations on accomplishing nothing.

I'm somehow not surprised this comment just came from an Arch Linux user.

Thanks I don't use Arch anymore though, I am just never on here so I haven't changed my stuff. I actually use Slackware now, thanks.

Build a 32bit version of this and I will seriously give it a try (maybe a review) and if it is good start promoting this.

I say this because over my last three years in the Linux world I've found I generally have less issues with a 32bit OS than I do with a 64bit OS (Flash is a huge part of this). Plus I work in a school and in order to use the SMART board software I need a 32bit Linux install (they only compile 32bit autopack builds). Plus with a PAE kernel I can still have my 4+ gigs of RAM on a 32bit system.

Also - I see global menu in your screen shots but do not see it on the application's list. Is it included by default?

~Jeff

Yes, global menu is included by default, just forgot to add it to the list.

I am probably going to start building the 32-bit today so it should be online by the weekend, but no promises. It will be out when it's ready.

The 32-Bit is now up. There is only a torrent at the moment until I sort out somewhere to host it.

This will be slow as I am seeding it from home, it will probably take about 10hr to download with my speed.

I will get more bandwidth for it but it won't be until tomorrow.

You got it MacGruber! It will probably take a day to dl 1.3 GB.

I am pretty anxious to try it out tho!
