Legacy Os-02 is out and it has almost everything one needs.
It has
1. Scribus
2. Gambase
3. Qhacc
4. Gnumeric
5. Gparted
6. Installer
7. Opera
8. Geany, Kate
9. Iso Manager
10. K3B
11. Skype
12 Bluefish Web Page Creator/Editor
13. Bit torrents
14. Print management
15. above all and games
16. AbiWord
and many more
For my curiosity only thing I miss is MySql PhP Admin Graphic front
My question is why it is not within the 100 in Distrowatch.
It can be installed and like TEEnPup it has graphic buttons on the right unlike Mac which prevents clutter.
Go and download and bring it above 100 in distrowatch.
In my case like Puppy it is in my top 10 distributions.
Only downside was it took three attempts to download and it broke twice due to poor Telecoms in Sri-lanka.
I hope it leaves a torrent file in Linuxtracker for poor souls in the Third World!
Unlike Puppy it took little more time to boot up an internet had to be configured after booting.
It is like any other CD distribution and unlike others it is compact.
Reason for slow boot up is that it has more packages than many CD distributions.
Only Knoppix can compete with it.
Thanks a lot for the hard work of guys and girls of Legacy OS.
Like Puppy it is coming from Australia and they all are Dog Lovers.
Now it (Legacy) is just below Linpus but with my recommendation and trend Linpus Linux will rise like a rocket.
Legacy should take few hints from Linpus and Knoppix to stay with modern trends.

Linpus Linux Light-1.4
It is nearly two years ago that I used Linpus Linux.
At that time I was not interested in Live CDs.
It has the following.
It is light weight.
It is free and one does not have to wait for Google to dish it for you.
I hope you go from strength to strength and give Google a bit of scare!
If you have a nettbook this one is for you.
It might take over and erase your windows though.
They are developing touch and HTDV version too.
Visit Linpus Home and see it for yourself.
After about 4 to 5 attempts i finally downloaded it. Point to point download stream broke for no reason partly a fault at the home site and partly due to our Telecom's failure.
Even though I was frustrated it was worth the wait and it did not take over the hard disk.
It has two options one for installation and one for boot form hard disk.
Download and enjoy but if the download fails try, try ,try again like the proverbial spider who finally climbed up and made a web of connections.
At that time I was not interested in Live CDs.
I had downloaded it when I was abroad and it had a heavy version and a light version.
I did not like the heavy version which was based on Redhat.But I really like the light version and even though it did not mention that it is an O.E.M. version but it behaved like one and takes over the hard disk and install it in minutes.
It's GRUB was not compatible with other Linux and I gave up because of its high handed take over of the hard disk.
It had all the making of a Mobile Linux but I was waiting for an update but I could never find a new version and totally gave up on it.
Today for curiosity I went to their site and looked for a free download iso and to my surprise and fortuitously I found the Light version 1.4.
It is only 411 MiB.
It is for netbook and is for mobile use.Today for curiosity I went to their site and looked for a free download iso and to my surprise and fortuitously I found the Light version 1.4.

They have done a beautiful advertisement and those who did not get Android from Google, this is where one should start.
It is beautiful.It is light weight.
It is free and one does not have to wait for Google to dish it for you.
It is Chinese with English capability and I am going to support it instead of Google's Android from now onwards.
Without much hype in two years Chinese in Taiwan has done a good job.
Thanks guys and girls at Linpus.I hope you go from strength to strength and give Google a bit of scare!
