Pioneer Basic Release 2 -- How much horse power is in this Linux from Colorado?
I am always getting suggestions on what the next Distro we should be reviewing. Many tell me to do the majors, such as Gentoo or Debian. While I agree that many people would like to see these, most newbies to Linux really should stay away from these in my humble opinion. Just ask others who attempted to review these in the past, and see how they simply fail to either get them installed or operational. Instead, we try to focus on "newbie" friendly distros that are climbing the charts, or ones that really should be higher on the list. So while we do plan on taking on the more advanced systems in the future, for right now, we are sticking to the more basic, single CD/DVD install.
The next thing people suggest is that I need to look more into Windows replacement systems. Now, to really toot my own horn, I have looked at really what most people consider the top candidates for this, with Linspire/Freespire, Xandros and SLED for commercial systems and then Ubuntu and Mandriva for community projects all having been reviewed, along with many more that I consider valid challengers. What I would agree with is that up until a few recent changes, I have stayed away from KDE systems, mainly due to poor performance and many, many bugs.
So when I was going through the list of what I might want to consider next, I tried to look for a true windows replacement desktop that also stuck with KDE. One that met the bill and came highly recommended was Pioneer Basic Release 2. This distro is based out of Colorado in the US, and was recently highlighted in a Distrowatch Weekly interview with Dianne Ursini, the CEO of the company behind Pioneer, Technalign.
So what do the folks from the mountains of Colorado offer to the Linux Community? Let's head to the front range and find out for ourselves shall we?

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
