Artificial Intelligence Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 http://distrowatch.com/?newsid=03139#0 FoX Linux is a single-CD desktop-oriented Linux distribution based on Fedora Core, with KDE as its preferred desktop, main components recompiled for the i686 architecture and out-of-the-box support for popular multimedia formats. I'm gonna try this out, I'll be back and tell my experience with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Can't get into it right now. Their servers are over-loaded! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlc Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 (edited) Looks interesting, starts with a good "core" ;) Sounds sort of like Loma? Lorma? something like that and another one that started a couple years ago. I'm running to many OS's at the moment for another one, besides my list below i have ubuntu on my laptop playing around and gentoo on another drive on my amd64 :) I was trying to install netbsd 3.0 "i386" on my amd64 but it wouldn't boot so BAH! Might try the amd64 -v but I wasn't impressed with freebsd64 reminds me of deb*64. FreeBSD 6.0 "i386" is awesome for me though! Might as well call me a distro ho again........ :o Edited December 28, 2005 by cybrjackle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 I tested Fox 0.8 and wasn't too impressed. No major weakpoints and no major advantages over other distros imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
