Sidux 2007-02 - A Review
The latest installment of Sidux, 2007-02 codenamed Tartaros, was released on May 28th of this year. Sidux is based on Debian, inparticularly Sid, which is the more modern, or development branch of Debian.
Once again, as with most Debian-based distributions, Sidux uses a live CD installer with the image weighing in slightly under 700MB. Once the live CD loads there is an icon on the desktop to begin the install. All installation information is requested right away in an easy-to-use tabbed window. I have yet to come across an installer that has asked for all information in this manner, but I love it (see image below)! The partition selector seemed to pick the correct partition each time, but also provides access to a partition manager and ability to override the Sidux defaults.
