ALT Linux-17

ALT Linux still disappoints me since its CD Version is only in Russian.

Its School Light version I downloaded is also in Russian.

The DVD version is heavy and has English.
Why cant the Russian learn some English (French too) and storm the market with a good distribution?

NimbleX-16

I am patiently waiting the download which is taking an unusually long time.
It has doubled it capacity and hence will loose some points in my scale.
The claims for bloating is justified since it is not of the same mold as DSL and LXDE (takes more graphic bits).
It beats easy peasy by having administrator facility (root) and command line administration and testing network traffic.
Extra 200MB has been well utilized.
Gets 840 out of 750.
Simple, Elegant and Excellent job by the NimbleX Team.

EasyPeasy-15

This gets 740 out of 750 and a pleasing Ububtu based desktop and laptop distributions.
It does not get 750 simply because it does not have the root administrator ability.
it is of the same mold as Linux mint nut like Kubuntu graphics are pleasing.
It is a pleasing easy to mange easy-peasy and any newbie would be happy to have if they tend to dislike Ubuntu.
But remember it is Ubunbtu based only the flavour and appearance are different.
