Wolvix 1.1.0 on 450Mhz K6-2, 256Mb
Part of my motivation in jumping around so much is to sniff out the general state of other XFCE distributions, in case I’m driven by a wild urge to ditch Xubuntu altogether, and move in a different direction. But mostly I think it’s interesting to see how other clans do business, and what kind of results they get. To that end, Wolvix is a standout. I’m very happy with this one.
Moves fast(er), keeps a low profile (although there is a fair shake of Gnome in there), and installed in a snap. Actually, I think the installer was easier than Ubuntu’s live installer. I know it was quicker to finish (but installed less, too). GPartEd handled the partition issue with the least of effort, and everything else fell into place.
Wolvix is the only distro thus far (aside from Xubuntu) to get my Xircom Realport PCMCIA network card online and working without a skip. A tip of the hat for that.
