A comparison of several lightweight Linux distributions...
Because I liked Ubuntu so much, I decided to install it on my laptop too and also this worked very good. However, these days Ubuntu is way to heavy to run on my laptop. Because I wanted to have a fast system I tried to install Gentoo Linux; the installation took 3 days but I ended up with a very fast and responsible system. However, every time I had to install a program it took ages to compile the software. So then I started searching to a nice and user-friendly lightweight distribution.
It wasn't as easy as I thought, so I decided to write my experiences down in this review. The following distributions were tested:- Arch 2007.08-2
- Damn Small Linux 4.2.5
- Puppy 4.0
- TinyMe Test7-KD
- Xubuntu 8.04
- Zenwalk 5.0
