Comments on IT Lure: Distro Hoppin`: Igelle 1.0.0

Tried Igelle but there's no community or forum to teach me how to get apps from the repositories and install from the terminal (e.g. apt-get,yum,etc.). The distro is still young but seems promising.

Igelle worked well on my old desktop. I hope the developers would continue to invest in this project. Since most small gadgets now involves the internet and so, the operating system, I think Igelle has a potential to be a leader based on their vision.

Thanks for the review. I'll be testing Igelle in a few minutes. :)

This is what dnndrw577 commented, which I agree on.

"Try and be reasonable. How can you see Igelle doing something nasty or "depriving" the community of something by releasing the results of their hard work and giving them away for free for everyone to use and enjoy? It is unfortunate how "greedy" some of us can get in assuming or *demanding* for all code written to be available under specific licenses. The GPL sources for packages included in Igelle are well posted and downloadable under download.igelle.com. Other than that, is it not OK for everyone to choose their preferred license for their own work? ... And would you really want to kill Igelle, through legal means? Has Igelle really been that evil to you? If you don't like it, don't use it. But please, is it really necessary to go up in arms against a group of people who seem to be trying to do some cool new things on Linux?"

Igelle may be breaking the GPL and if not they are treading close.

Kind'a funny! I was expecting a review of the promissing new distro in the parade, thanks for it. Not for me, I step in the to-be-release Frugalware 1.2, easy and with honest repositories.

I tried it and liked it...but in my dual boot situation, it didn't include XP in the Grub Menu... so for now, I'm back to Mint 8.

Hi.
I did also installed Igelle in a vbox's vm machine, under a windows vista host. Guess what, you're spoiling the distro with those redundant huge amounts of ram. Try, as I did, to work within the 256 MB vbox's defaulted alocated ram to a2 generic linux 2.6, and you'll be fine. ("1024 MBs of RAM"? ... well ... this isn't a Mo Wndows, this is a Linux without blender ... :)

Great review, Danny! I figured to run Igelle on a Desktop-PC Intel Celeron 2GHz and it looks great! Feels great and fast too! What a gem this distro is :)

I couldn't make a NVIDIA card work, but booting "igelle failsafe" did work, and I could install the NVIDIA driver from the NVIDIA website. You might try that for a "non-virtual" install. I agree it is an interesting distro - more suitable for a netbook, perhaps than a desktop machine. The pseudo-mac interface is neat. Caio. - Bruce F.

I love this distro, in fact I was willing to write something about it.
