Review– PCLOS derivative TinyMe

I came across this TinyMe version of PCLOS and was fascinated enough to try it…why bother? Yes, I have 768MB RAM now, but honestly it’s not really enough for Linux Mint and I do tire of hearing my fan (loudly sometimes) all the time..so I downloaded TinyMe and made myself a nifty little boot disk. I rebooted with my new “Live CD” and away I go…

It started immediately…and I do mean immediately! Nice! Nice polished look of PCLOS…The usual of logging in with guest/guest or root/root blah blah…so then I get to the desktop. I see all the icons for the major installations of various applications, such as a text editor, Audacious for playing music (which I love), Opera for the internet (which I slavishly adore) and mtpaint for editing pictures, and gThumb. On the right side of the desktop is the system monitor which is there by default. Yes, this can be removed or commented out if you prefer (like me) to have a naked desktop. There is by default a desktop switcher and you can name the desktops (by default they are 4 names, one is fred and one is “soup” no idea why but it made me laugh) Seriously when is the last time Windoze made anyone laugh in delight?
