Yes the crash related to reading ntfs partition information happened also at my desktop. For example when selecting 'properties' on a large ntfs directory made the system to crash. The crash also happened sometimes when copying information from ntfs to ext4

also the information about what was copied was missing

This is not a bad idea actually. Some people treat the rest room as their comfort zone. Entertainment in this room would be pleasurable.

That was not a Nepomuk crash. It was just Akonadi reporting that nepomuk indexing is disabled, and Akonadi needs it to be enabled for some functionality.

The kernel was kept back because of a regression bug. The newer kernel has major issues.

Well done review... I agree that the number of updates for a week-old distro is insane! That doesn't even include KDE 4.8 - sure to be updated in the coming days or weeks. At least they could have bumped the kernel up to the current 'buntu version.

Thanks!
Well, the installer is actually Kubuntu's installer, right? :) But I agree, the way I wrote it is a bit confusing. :)

Nice review, as usual.
The only question: Why do you mention Kubuntu in the forth paragraph?

Sounds like a good feature!

I gave up on Netrunner after a full week of busted updates because of unverified repositories and 404 errors. This happened with Update Manager, Muon, and Synaptic too.

2012-01-07T09:38:14.851+02:00

Hm... I really haven't notice it to be slow. Then again, I only used it for a few minutes from the live environment.
And yes, once it was installed, it did perform better, like most (if not all) KDE distros do.

Hm... so you run the latest Mepis with KDE, right? If so, does it have the same desktop effects enabled? Transparencies, animations, etc.? The Latitude D610 could be a bit too slow for all that, so that could be the problem.

2012-01-07T06:57:31.059+02:00

Did you find netrunner to run kind of sluggish off the flash drive? I have a newer 8 gig and it's a bit slow. Could also be the fact that I'm using a Latitude D610, but Mepis runs normally. If it was a big bogged down, did it run faster once on the hd?

You are most welcome, DarkDuck! And thanks for the comment. Indeed, it is quite a nice distro.

And thank you, Mudit. Unfortunately, I can't do anything about the videos...

Great O.S. I was already using Ubuntu 10.04 very happy.
But the conky sys monitor really sold me. It hardly uses any resources. Not much use for the tacky OSX dock but the file manager dock could prove useful. And where can I get that wallpaper? It's not offered in 10.04.3

I'm new to Linux from the Windows world. I've been running Ubuntu 11.10 and have configured it to a point I like it but there's still something missing. Last night I read about PinguyOS on Distrowatch.com and decided to download it and give it a try. Version number 11.04.1 (32-bit; I tried downloading and burning the 64-bit version to DVD but it refused to boot. No problem with the 32-bit version). My first impression was much more favorable than the one I had with Ubuntu. As others have said here and elsewhere, PinguyOS struck me as being more polished right out of the box (so to speak). I love the Conky status widget (most of it's functions are the same one I have separate Windows 7 gadgets for on my desktop). Sound worked, broadband worked, the eye-candy worked. Everything just worked... very important to someone new to Linux that has yet to become educated as to how to set up and tweak a Linux desktop (probably a top reason new users give up and go back to their old OS. Most people want/need to be able to use the OS for work and play immediately). I've still got some playing to do but am seriously thinking of setting PinguyOS in a dual-boot environment with Ubuntu 11.10. I suspect it could become my primary Linux distro to use. So if you're new to Linux (or not so new) I'd say give download PinguyOS, burn it to DVD and try it Live. I think you'll be pleasantly pleased.

Well another Debian re-spin. I haven't gotten much from this release either, mirroring your own experience though,
