The third review - Nexenta OS

Sunday, December 23rd, 2007

This time the result of the poll was clear. Nexeta OS got 10 votes, followed by CRUX with 7 votes. I’m downloading the image right now. I don’t know if the review is going to be ready before Christmas.

In the meantime, vote or propose distributions for the third review (poll in the sidebar, propose by posting a comment here).

Happy holidays!

Update: I’m still here, but at the moment I don’t have time to write the review. I’m afraid you need to wait a few more days. Sorry. (December 28)

The second article

Friday, December 14th, 2007

Today I’m going to start testing Fluxbuntu, as it is the most voted distribution so far, after openSUSE.

This time I’m planing to write a full-length, proper review.

Also, because I don’t think it is fair for some distributions to have cumulated votes over a long period and others just for a few days, I’m going to try to respect the following self imposed rules:

  • when I start testing the distribution which has most votes, I’ll create a new poll with the same options (except the already chosen distribution)
  • if two distributions have the same number of votes, both get reviewed, probably one per week
  • new distributions are going to be added only when a new poll is created

Don’t forget to vote again :)

Now, what do you think? Do you have any suggestion?
