Remember Ubuntu? Of course you do. Remember the distro you tried after Ubuntu? Of course you do.
Remember how did it feel not to have a tiny little app that lets you install drivers with a click? Of course....this is getting repetitive <_<
Here's my point.There's nothing quite like Ubuntu( well maybe a Ubuntu based distro lol).Ubuntu is too easy for a noob to move on.
After Ubuntu,I tried Fedora.I was like: Ok where the hell is that thinngy that lets me install drivers...huh no fedora-restricted-extras ??They don't have any proprietary software in their repos? Nooo
Yep,total fail.
Every time I try a new distro I consider myself a windows fanboy who just found out about "Linux"
Every time I was disappointed by the amount of friendliness I encountered --> 0
But..with Sabayon it was different:
There was no need for "thinggy" to install NVIDIA proprietary drivers.They were already installed.
No need for codecs --> already there. Just to be sure I installed "vlc" using Sulfur ( awesome tool btw with both a simple and a advanced interface )
The overall desktop experience was great.The flash player plug in was already installed by default,they even added an update notifier for extreme noob cases when one can't the big [ Sync ] button in the Sulfur interface.
One final thing.Updates are released really often.Right now there should be like 700 packages that need updating.Just grab the daily iso from the "iso" folder and you're going to have a Sbayon system with all updates already installed right after you reboot your pc.
Crunchbang Linux ,one of my favorite lightweight distros,which is now based on Debian announced that the Ubuntu based-on version reached the end of its life.
The Statler design is an important step towards a unique linux philosophy.Minimalist and dark is better.They always say the site must reflect the distribution.Well the new site does just that.
Just take a look at the site while reading the announcement here.
If you didn't know,the CrunchBang 10 "Statler" - Alpha 2 release is based on Debian Squeeze,which means it's as rollin' as much as Linux Mint Debian edition is.Plus this one has a x64 version ready with 2 desktop environments you can choose from: openbox and xfce4.Give it a try.You won't regret it.
You probably use Notepad for opening a few simple documents, edit some html codes or CSS etc.We all do that, but what if you can open them with a better Notepad? What if you can see different colors when you use a html code or try to open a library in C++? That would help a lot wouldn't it? Well guess what this little program can do?
You:All those things above?
Me:Oh yeah, and even more.

WebBrowser is the simplest browser you can find at the moment, the only features it has being typing a URL, and moving forward and backwards through webpages, and also refreshing them. If you wanna see how it is to browse simple and efficient, without any other features, like they did in the old days well this is what you were looking for.You just can't make it simpler than that.
