Linpus Linux 1.4
It is nearly two years ago that I used Linpus Linux.
At that time I was not interested in Live CDs.
I had downloaded it when I was abroad in Singapore 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 411MB.
It is for netbook and is for mobile use.
It has the following.
Firefox
Email Client
IM: MSN, Skype
Open Office Applications
Photo Management
Power Management
PC Folder
Social Network
Multimedia Player
Network Manager
Game Collection
PDF Reader
Live Update
RSS Reader

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 onward.
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!
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.
