MonomaxOS-29

If one is fed up of Suse and Mandriva (I am fed up with both of them, both while being heavy and make a point to omit good utility packages that are in the commercial versions) this one is for you.

It has shed some of its weight to 1.7
and the slimmer versions provides what Suse and Mandriva keep as commercial packages.

It has XBOX (Multimedia) for which I give 250 points and
it's score is over 2000 (out of 3000 odd points which I give for a all inclusive heavy distributions).


It also has blender in it's official version and if they had put the same (blender) in the multimedia version I would have given 2500 points.

This is much better than Pardus which also come from Greece.

(I think Pardus is government sponsored and MomomaxOS is a free to make its own decisions).

Sabayon (Slakware) and Monomax (Ubuntu) are almost similar but I prefer Sabayon for its comparatively light weight strategy.

Pick is yours.

If a distribution cannot put its act together with 1.5 GB it is not worth the downloading time in this part of the world (Sri-Lanka).

Our downloading is pretty slow and servers hang up in the night!
Guys switch off the Server (Our Telecom) and go to sleep and that is the time unfortunately I download the Linux distributions for testing.
