Undermentioned but Useful Linux Distributions


Undermentioned but Useful Linux Distributions

It is more than three years ago I analyzed and rated over 25 Linux Distributions.
It is time for me to mention few of those not mentioned then but altogether very useful, handy and light weight distributions.
1. Bodhi Linux with Enlightenment Desktop
It used to be down below 400 MiB then but has expanded to over 650 MiB.

2. ArchBang
Arch derivative much user friendly than Arch (not for newbies)
Ther are two other Arch derivatives Manjaro and Antegos with graphical installer.
Manjora has many desktops and Antegos is only on gnome desktop.

3. Bridge Linux that bridges the gap between Arch Linux with experts to Linux user with minimal skilss with command line activity.
It bridges the gap.

4. Gentoo Linux Minimal
This is the Linux distribution that build up from scratch.
I have never tried it, since my download speed is prohibitive but I have tried it with the live DVD which is very impressive.
It totally different experience.
Go to its web site and follow its detailed instruction if you have a fast internet.

5. CrunchBand Linux
It is a Debian derivative over 800 MiB.

6. Clonezilla
Clones images and just over 100 MiB.

7. My favorite is AnitX or MX 4.2 a Mepis/Debian derivative.

Then there is Linux from scratch Ebook with detailed instructions.
