Workbench 1.0 - Developers' Xubuntu
I discovered this little gem in this week's DistroWatch Weekly. When a distribution claims to be "Linux for Software and Web Developers," both of which I happen to be, my ears prick up. Could this be the distribution I've been waiting for? Or will it simply build up my hopes only to dash them later?
Workbench is relatively new, as far as I can tell. They're based on Xubuntu and claim to have very svelte system requirements because of it. The slideshow on their site shows they've managed to make quite an attractive desktop in spite of this. My interest was piqued.
Install:
My first indication that there might be more to this than Xubuntu was the 1.4GB ISO file. It runs as a LiveCD or offers the option to shove off straight into the installer, much like Xubuntu 8.04.
The installer itself is pretty standard Xubuntu. If you've installed any Ubuntu derivative recently you'll know what to expect.
