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?
