Snowlinux 4 XFCE Review: The Smoothest one but very very bland!



Lets begin with a note of thanks to the Snowlinux developers - each one of their distro I have tested and/or used, are very stable and give amazing performance. However, I never really liked the themes they use, if Crystal was bland, Glacier is blandest with everything - wallpaper to panel, in white.

Fedora 18 Spherical Cow LXDE Review: Among the best in LXDE




Fedora has always intrigued me to keep track of the
latest happenings in the Linux world and especially what's brewing at
the RHEL stable! Also, if I think of a comparable distro to Ubuntu,
Fedora is the only legitimate choice! Just like Ubuntu, Fedora also
inspires innumerable spins (like Kororaa, Fuduntu, of which I am a big
fan now!). So, when the release note
of Fedora came on 15th

Fedora 18 Spherical Cow Gnome Review: Stable and efficient with professional looks but has Gnome 3 agonies!

Ultimate Edition 3.5 Review: Ugly but fully loaded!



My first exposure to Ultimate edition was with 3.4. I installed the 64-bit one to my newly bought Core i7 3rd gen. laptop with 8 GB RAM last year, but had to remove it bugged by it's instability. First the default interface is devoid of much aesthetics, Second, effects are too loud and most important, third, instability - not a single day passed with something or the other crashing in the
