Review: Zenix - Linux for enlightened beings

[mynamebestname]

Zenix is awesome because it got Awesome :P

[djwela]

Is this better than Xubuntu? :O and why?

[LouigiVerona]

I wanted to ask what screen capture software are you using here?

[EdgyRootStudios]

@LouigiVerona This was done with gtk-recordmydesktop.

[LouigiVerona]

@EdgyRootStudios Wow! I am using it too but I did not know it had this neat zooming feature. I gotta explore it more!

[EdgyRootStudios]

@LouigiVerona Oh, little misunderstanding here. The zooming feature is done with Compiz. :-)

[LouigiVerona]

@EdgyRootStudios Ah, right. Okay )))

I just tried out Zenix in a virtualbox and I must say this has a chance at replacing my mint8 install. Even the themes and wallpapers are most agreeable.

[roboticterror]

Why not just make a meta-package?

From what I got off the site, it's just some artwork,themes, and some added software. This would take a lot less resources and it's wouldn't add to the fragmentation of Linux distros.

May I also add that the logo has the Yin and yang sign in it; which is Taoism symbol. Yes, concepts like Yin and yang can be found in Buddhism, but they do not use Yin and yang.

Which IRC chatroom are you talking about?

[EdgyRootStudios]

Oh sorry, didnt mention it here, because I thought people would check out thisweekinlinux. The channel is #twil on freenode.

[DrSunnz]

Yes I just subbed to thisweekinlinux because of your mention but didn't know he have a IRC channel! :D

[EdgyRootStudios]

Thanks Tim. I forgot to post a link to OSGUI in the sidebar. Will do that now.

There is a bug in Ubuntu based ditros for the past 2 releases. Basically, the installer will download and install OpenOffice if it is not present in the LiveCD. This affects Xubuntu as well.

There's a bug on Launchpad... somewhere...

[thisweekinlinux]

Neat looking distro. I might have to load it up in a virtual machine to pull out the backgrounds. It appears bodhi.zazen is the maintainer for it. I did some work with him on the Ubuntu Beginner's Team a while back. Very nice guy.

Thanks so much for the shoutout!

[EdgyRootStudios]

The shoutout is necessary - your show must get more views. It deserves it. As for the distro: Those guys did a really good job and I hope they keep on maintaining it. Like I said, I'll be putting this on my netbook soon.

[thisweekinlinux]

@EdgyRootStudios Well I definitely appreciate it.

Hm. I really need to install something new on my netbook. Perhaps I'll give this a shot there.
