Compare Phoenix Linux with Elementary OS


Compare Phoenix Linux with Elementary OS

For me Phoenix Linux has the club mentality of Linux, not the business mentality of Redhat.

Phoenix Linux is called CUB, as of puppies.

I love Puppy Linux and dogs and my affection for Phoenix Linux is similar.
All stray dogs are my love.

Whereas Elementary Os is like a pedigree dog, expensive from the day you bring it home with hereditary diseases or bug fixes in case of elementary.

Phoenix Linux is at home with you from the first live session with almost all the utilities one needs in a Light Weight Distribution.

One has to purchase every little free software from elementary not free at all
It entices you with a beautiful front end and the back end is empty if one does not pay.

I am not against proprietary Redhat and Suse Linux which do yeoman service to server community.

What an average user wants is a functional Linux at first boot up. 
It is OK for guy like me retired and have plenty of time to kill. 
Young guys need not waste time on configuring and testing a teasing Linux distribution.

Thumbs up for Phoenix Linux which has Abiword (I am writing this in a live session) and thumbs down for elementary which has no functionality at boot up.

Any distribution which has no torrent file is not worth downloading and testing.
It takes ages to download from point to point (not in my case).
I pay a high bill to my service provider, Sri-Lankan Telecoms and guys are very nice.
After series of lightening both the router and hard drive went down (burnt).
TV too, was hit and all are in working condition now.
The lightening hits the gadgets well before the trip switch goes off.

Take care even indoors during this stormy season.

I hope elementary Linux get an electric shock reading this comment. 

Unfortunately Distrowatch is also part of this money game and won’t let my honest comment published.

So read the stuff here and not at Distrowatch!
