openGEU - sunny Ubuntu - Overview & short tutorial
openGEU is another extremely successful Ubuntu child, running Enlightenment 17 as the desktop manager. Like gOS, another Ubuntu & Enlightenment distro reviewed some time ago here at Dedoimedo, openGEU offers a healthy refreshment of color and choices to the already well-established distro.
Like I have said before, Ubuntu is probably one of the smartest choices for the new Linux users, while it won't keep the veterans hanging in the dry. Enlightenment is a radically beautiful windows manager, very low on hardware demands. Combined, the two offer a new angle at productivity versus style.
Booting into live CD session
We're on familiar grounds here. Ubuntu distro means a single, bootable CD with all the goods you can need, no unpleasant surprises. You can test all aspects of your system and hardware before committing the distro to an install.
Like most modern distributions, it boots into a 1650x1050px desktop, which is way too much for my aging eyes. Changing the distribution via the desktop options did not work, but this should hardly bother anyone. Manually reconfiguring xorg and restarting the X Windows works.
I found the solution in the traditional Linux way - the command line.

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. |
