Alessandro17 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 If you do, why not try Parsix? Parsix is based on Debian testing (Lenny) and Kanotix, arguably the best installable Live CD ever. Parsix has the following advantages: 1)A gorgeous looking GNOME. 2)It is based on Debian testing, which means bleeding edge but also free from serious bugs. 3)Being Debian based you have access to the largest software repositories ever. http://distrowatch.com/?newsid=04720 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/89569-do-you-like-gnome/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
SticMAC™ Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Why is it, that Distro's are ALWAYS in "testing", "developement", "unsupported" or "developer release"?? Don't these guys know how to release a "Version" of something?? To me, this looks like yet another Ubuntu with a color change!

Don't these guys know how to release a "Version" of something?? This IS a release. Debian has 3 branches, stable, testing and unstable. Explaining everything would be quite complicated. Suffice to say that Debian testing is a lot more stable than most releases by other distros. To me, this looks like yet another Ubuntu with a color change! Not even close! This actually works and works well, and gives slightly more advanced users a lot of freedom. Besides, it can be kept always current, at least until Debian testing isn't frozen for release.

silver dolphin Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I'm a dreamlinux user, and a debian user. I couldn't ask for more than debian in any debian-based distro. BTW, xfce all the way!!!! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/89569-do-you-like-gnome/#findComment-638952 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alessandro17 Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 Why not use debian? This is Debian (I mean, it is fully compatible). Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/89569-do-you-like-gnome/#findComment-639234 Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver dolphin Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I really don't know how this is gonna be any different from debian or other debian-based distros. That's what I don't like about distros, so many chices, but most of them turn out to be the same as the other and you just can't stop wondering, "how would it be if I tried that distro?" I'm sticking with debian, thank you very much. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/89569-do-you-like-gnome/#findComment-639699 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro17 Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 I'm sticking with debian, thank you very much. If you have Debian installed and working, there is no reason to change. But for people who must install Debian, or for people who try almost every single distro, Parsix has the following to offer: 1)A very easy and fast installer. 2)A better looking desktop. 3)Almost everything you need already installed. 4)A few extra tools. If you add the Kanotix repository, you'll have even more. Such tools are very useful. 5)A more complete sources.list. This is especially useful for newbies. On top of everything else, it is a Live CD as well. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/89569-do-you-like-gnome/#findComment-640459 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbz Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 well in response to the original question about Gnome, it makes a hell of a lot more sense than KDE. It's the cartoony quality of the vast majority of Linux/Debian/BSD UIs that ruins everything. Ill have to try out one of those cool 3d environments...

Alessandro17 Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 NO! Well, even if you are so much against GNOME, you can still use Parsix: # apt-get install kde, xfce (or anything else you like, it is Debian after all) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/89569-do-you-like-gnome/#findComment-651747 Share on other sites More sharing options...
