Linux Mint 6 Felicia Fluxbox CE, In Depth

[AnarchistsAnnonymous]

If you pause this video at any point it looks like Chris' cum face, not being rude it just does

[discoguru]

Maybe u should write down your speech and read from it. Its okay to do so.

[walter0bz]

ability to run efficient software on minimal hardware is one of the best things about linux,

think "energy saving future"

[j800r]

Linux Mint Fluxbox is EXTREMELY buggy. A few apps won't work very well, and flash performance is terrible.

[demoflare]

@j800r

flash is always terrible on linux, especially on x86_64 architechtures, blame adobe for being propietary bitches!

gnash is a good alternative, but sometimes videos can be buggy.

[Antiks72]

@demoflare LOL! Linux is like 1 percent of the market.  They're not gonna waste their time. We do need an open source alternative though. Hopefully HTML 5 will put that to death.

[demoflare]

@Antiks72

yeh thats why we need flash to die

html5 will succeed as its currently planned to use ogg theora, which is open source and not propietary, meaning it can run on anything its been ported too ;p

[MrTabby5000]

Its even better and faster on newer systems and hd internet video.

[fatkasuvayu]

wud be better if u showed the desktop while you talked ... :-/

[mattpic138]

i remember my uber fast pc with 64mb ram and a 1gb HDD that was a beast!

[ehmoratallar]

Very nice video, has very useful information I will try this distribution now.

[chnix]

stop talking please!!!

[4m05]

16mb in 1993 I dont think so, with silicone shortage, RAM increased in price so 16mb ram was like over £700 thats in the region of $1500 and only 80mb hdd lol

[hateddboy]

el csm extremo, como habla casi 15 minutos seguidos xDDD

[jwcajwca]

Esta mierda si habla paja

[liqwiz]

Can we have less face, please?

More info (any at all) would be great.

[blackjack7154]

what do you prefer linuxmint6 or windows7

[traderi]

Linux Mint 7

[billgoldbergmania]

I don't do twitter, but have you heared of Slitaz?

A nice French-based (it has an English version).

I run it on my old Dell Optiplex G1, with 192mb of ram.

It uses Openbox on XVesa.

Certainly worth a look.

[dojagrl209]

[DrStoooopid]

don't be a douche.

[DrStoooopid]

I mean seriously, the dude is just bringing info to the community, put your hateraide away.

[smack1289]

no way! he made a video about himself and not the title! at least he should have written "linux and me" or such... this is worse than a rick roll...

[natalumei]

i wanna see linux not your face. thanx for the video but stop talkin

[AndyMaikel]

[Brozium]

[flasher555]

no PPC compatibility ........... F@CK !!! :-(

[Telstar85]

I still run IRC client and an ftp server on my ThinkPad 701CS.. that's 50MHz 486DX4 with a whole bunch of 12MB RAM lappy. Running DeLi Linux with self-compiled 2.6-serier. Does the CLI very slightly:)

[posthumouslyyours]

I hear about the best distros for newbs, like this and Ubuntu and a few others but what are the best distros after you're no longer a newb?

[BunnyEnterprisesInc]

sabayon linux!! lol

[posthumouslyyours]

Why is that funny?

[BunnyEnterprisesInc]

it was supposed to be a reply its just youtube is stupid yeah....

[posthumouslyyours]

Oh okay, I get it, lol.

[zygis18]

This is good os  :D

[Nudekwood]

got fucking never talk to the camera again

[KuwabaraAgain]

Goodness gracious, more linux, less chair talking!

[SikantisVilkas]

agree :)

[jonoinit]

i like window but also i like linux

i dont want to switch from windows to linux because i have good programs i downloaded like adobe after effects cs4 and power director. do u think its worth my time dual booting

[fernbap]

It is always a good idea to install a dual boot system. This way you can get the good stuff from both environments.

Also, unlike many "experts" on youtube, you can't evaluate a OS using live CDs or virtual machines. You have to actually install it in order to unleash all its features.

Most people that say they don't like Linux just tried a live CD and almost all of their problems come from not having the system installed in their harddrives.

[jonoinit]

great thanks for the advice

[Koss42]

I think it would be easier for a newbie to transition to some of the other CE's, or the main edition of mint.

[Jzarecta]

the menus in fluxbox are pretty simple is a very basic .rc text file in which you just need an editor to change the structure.

you can get it also from fluxbox documentation.

[acsial]

Interesting review. I haven't used fluxbox, but I've tried Xfce, of which a 'Mint' version is available, too.

[cavaliersunbird]

MINI ZEN PCLOS GNOME!!!

[cagwait]

great video. as a debian fluxbox user always looking to try out different lightweight fluxbox distros

[Keruaran]

Beauty is a feature. :)

[TinyGrasshopper]

not to mention it should fit a netbook pretty well. i have an eeepc 2g surf which is the lowest end eeepc they make. the specs are embarrassing compared to the other eeepcs and other netbooks, but it was cheap.(i'm totally replacing it as soon as i can) i've been using xubuntu on it and it works fine but if i can squeeze more power out of it and still get good usability that should be cool.

[fairyheli2]

im one of the two, i could get this distro for virtual PC

i always use fluxbox for games, because of compiz interferes with games

[fubiao]

Seems he likes every Linux distribution, funny

[Zliggy0]

hehe or he just don't talks about them he doesn't like as much :)

[Jzarecta]

I don't think he likes Gentoo, Sabayon that much.

[dARKONE06]

More screen-shots

other than that your really solid

[Charles2337]

xD 16 mb of ram.

[lukaszkaszak]

My first PC got 100 MHz processor 2x 16MB Edo RAM and Fujitsu 1,7 GB HDD xD

[thermodynamicist]

Amen on the point about aesthetics, no offense to all the fans but I really have never seen a Linux GUI that I've liked the look (or function) of. In the end having a clean look and feel can make the UI easier to use as well as nicer to look at.

I'm DLing this one now and will hopefully try it tomorrow.

[PenguinCommunity]

Felicia Fluxbox hellooo!!

xD haha, great vid

by the way, what was the program that you used to edit this video ?

[sharperguy]

Those specs are about the same as for Windows XP

[dARKONE06]

Yeah except this comes with some useful software and some Drivers in its kernal

im not going to diss Win Xp I still use it but install it clean from the cd as i often do for my clients and its useless

it only comes with IE (6 if i might add) and WMP

it is a useless OS if u run it as is straight from the cd

this thing straight from the cd is ready to go on any computer

Im not a linux zealot im just stating the facts. I still fix Windows computers all the time and still use it

[Koss42]

Alright a Mint review! Awesome! Never tried XFCE, I run other flavors though for awhile now

[Koss42]

Er, I mean Flux hahaha

[misokatsu99]

umm my 386 with 2 megs of RAM still powers on, my Amiga 500 and C64 also still work fine today. Do not assume that machines with less than 128 RAM will not power on ;)

[YouMockMe]

really? I found Mint to be more difficult than Ubuntu. However the desktop is better looking and it seems to be slightly more stable. I do still have that weird wifi issue.

[OneAndOnlySnob]

I second phenylalanin's comment. You don't use the video track very well. When you review distributions, you should at least show some screenshots, or if you're talking about a nice menu, show us how the menu works. I always watch the Youtube version of LAS, but it really never really has any additional content over the audio only versions.

Your audio tracks are good, but your video tracks are almost always pointless. You could get some use out of the video track without hurting audio track.

[starsky51]

Great review. Not so great accent :) Is it just me or does Felicia Fluxbox sound like the name of a pornstar?

[librano]

lol!

[thomashome05]

Don't worry I have an Intel Mac not a PPC Mac! I used to have them!

[Freespire44]

1.hi Thanks for talking about Felicia flux box C.E. that's what I have installed on my I,B.M Net vista with krusader for my filling system. 2. O.k Here's my Idea for an invention the external fire wire card a small devise the size of a modem that has both U,S,B and Fire wire ports and a place to plug in the camera it comes with cables to hook things up to your old computers U.S.B Ports once every thing is set people can use their cameras to make videos on kino Which needs fire wire.

[garejnc]

For my not very old computer (AthlonXP2500, ATIX1600) I am using slimmed down version of Xubuntu and work really fast and is great for my parents as most basic internet use and document reading and writing (now we are on about 10 day of them really using the computer).

[celtic426]

Crunchbang linux is good minimalistic distro too

[frytas12]

nice

[Yupiyeahs]

I used to run Mint for a while. It's a great distro for complete beginners, i.e. you don't have add medibuntu repos, restricted extras, etc. Overall, I'd still recommend standard-issue Ubuntu. The Mint tuning, albeit nice, tends to be a little buggy at times.

[Phenylalanin1979]

An okay one, I do wish you would show the thing in motion. Screenshots tell very little about the feel of the desktop.
