Review: Bayanihan Linux 4
This Filipino-based Linux distribution, initiated by the Open Source Group in the Philippines’ Advanced Science and Technology Institute in October 2001, hasn’t received a lot of press (in the US, at least). I just first heard of it via DistroWatch announcing their latest release. Curious, I checked out the distribution’s website, which looked very nice. I’m always interested to see what government sponsored software brings about. I didn’t see any reviews on the DistroWatch page for Bayanihan, so I decided it was time to change that.
Bayanihan isn’t a live CD distribution like most of them today, so there was no trying it out beforehand. No matter, because I have VMware for this purpose, and I still didn’t want to remove Sabayon from my desktop.
I downloaded the 700MB ISO (bayanihanlinux-4.iso) and configured a new VM on my MacBook Pro. The distro started up and a simple and clean boot loader appeared.
