NiMbleX--87

This is a distribution I wanted to put with the teeny weenies but any longer.

It's 200 MIB was nimble to begin with but now it has gone to KDE 4 with little fat, an ailment of atherosclerosis.

When one is on a diet of KDE it is no wonder one gets atherosclerosis that is why I call the the KDE 4 fondly as the Gorilla in the wing (I love Gorillas any way) if not at the dinner party.

Unfortunately we simple Sri-Lankans are on a not so balance diet but on a lean diet due to food prices going up by the day and we cannot invite Gorilla for a dinner let alone a party. But we have two legged variety with both hands up for innocent voters charm.

We even cannot feed our four legged elephants except during perahara time. These majestic animals are killed one a day almost everyday (in the pretext of development) that we will not have any left in the jungle.

But the fat politicians are eating up everything including the limited resources.


Problem with fat distributions (like politicians) they waste time and energy doing nothing at all for me to talk about.
It takes lot of time downloading them
and feeding them with RAM and memory.


I am downloading the 400 odd MiB not so Nimblex.
I will be with you soon with some comments.


It is sleek as always the KDE is.

Slow to boot but surprisingly once booted up moves fast/
it has everything a newbie needs including open office in 400 MiB which is an achievement.
They should take a cue or two from PCLinux and add some light weight X-windows to it's repertoires.
It has a long way to go to satisfy every type of customers . especially somebody like me in its fold to give a pet tap or a kick in the back and should not drop its light weight 200MiB descendent in its repertoire.

Good Luck with future endeavours.
