First post

First, a little about me. I’m Cosmin, a high school stundent and a Linux enthusiast. I’m using Linux for something like five years and it is my main OS since 2003. I’m not a native English speaker and this is my only blog written completely in English so there may be mistakes. Feel free to correct me.

Now, what do I write this blog for? Well, since I started using GNU/Linux I wasn’t able to find a distribution to completely satisfy me. I had tested dozens of different Linux distributions, but everytime there seems to be something that annoys me. Well, I’m a perfectionist. I’m still searching for the perfect distro, but at the moment I’m using Arch Linux. The second reason would be that there are lots of good distros, but they are not known enough. I plan to review weekly a less know Linux distribution, but which seems to has a good potential. I’m probably going to periodically post some polls where you’ll be able to vote. I also plan to review alpha and beta releases of more known distros. I may also post news, but only if I read something really interesting. If news about linux distros is what you’re searching for, subscribe to DistroWatch.

The tests are going to be done in a VMware virtual machine running on my notebook (Dell Inspiron 1501 - Turion 64 MK-36 @ 2 GHz, 1 GB RAM, 80 GB Hitachi HDD @ 5400 rpms) unless otherwise expressed.
