ToorOS-50

One of the best Genitoo based CDs which comes from Germany.

It has amazingly good throughput.

Like KDE which originally came from Germany (Knoppix included) the Linux guys and girls in Germany are very good and a well organized lot.

Thank to all of them letting the English users (failure of PCLinux-no international throughput) like me in the Asia have the opportunity to use the new developments from EU.

I had reservation on Genitoo Linux but ToorOS completely changed my mind.

Good work guys and girls.

I am waiting for Live CD from you (light weight edition), just like a-Live/ a-Linux!

Orion-49

One of the best Ubuntu based CDs which comes with many utilities that Backtrack has introduced.

It has amazingly good throughput.

Only blemish I found was that the password for live booting was missing.

I contacted the home (It has produced a very good PDF document) and got the details and downloaded the latest image and tested it.

All my earlier irritations (mostly due to poor internet connectivity) disappeared into thin air!
Good work guys and girls.

I am waiting for Live CD from you (light weight edition), just like a-Live, a-Linux!

OpenGEU-48

Another gem coming from Ubuntu family with E17-Enlightenment, X-Windows.
Breaking out of the boring brown Ubuntu it has produced an attractive live CD.
I have tried PCLinux-E17 (not quiet impressed yet) too but I have some reservation.

Both of them should look at Elive (which is the best
Enlightenment package for me) and improve the out put of amazing E17.

Elive has a huge fan base due to change of its practice of letting the user uses ( test it) it before sending a donation.
This novel approach has
made Linux very, very, user friendly.

Who will by a product without testing?

This is the failure on the part of Mandriva which make the user depend on its services and no feedback is possible.

Every new donation come from a happy Linux user but not from a grumpy user who had used Microsoft before (often a pirated copy)!
I hate pirates!
Mind you this comes from France.

U-lite-Ubuntu-Derivative-47

U-lite gets lot of points from me for its light weight edition, an Ubuntu derivative.
It is fast, sleek and instantly start many utilities on RAM.
On of the best in light weight category coming out of Ubuntu Family.
I have nothing but admiration for it.

aLinux-LiveCD-46

I downloaded at least 4 different aLnux CDs and none of them kept the promise the peanut Linux (small and efficient) from which it originated.
There was a problem with restart to begin with.
Boot loader was inconsistent and could not figure out my complex (not really) partitions at boot time.
I had to re-install my favorite light weight Linux distribution soon after.
I lost interest in it but quiet by accident I found aLive in the bottom of the list of 100 Linux in Distrowatch listing.
Finally aLive (aLinux) has produced a sleek live CD and I was quiet impressed by its performance.
It has packed lot of utilities in 700MiB which is an amazing feat while having KDE as X-windows(Graphic face is very attractive).
They have done lot of original work
and what I like most is its packaging of its own creations under a-Linux/ a-Live.

Now I have cleared you from some of the early blemishes (still cannot restart after a session but with a few lines in the start up script one can rectify it- in the next release) you are going to ascend in the listing of Distrowatch in no time.

I am waiting to see your next release!
Good Luck guys and girls
