Three Great Distributions for Christmas: sidux, AntiX M8.0 and SimplyMEPIS 8.0
The Debian project has packaged and produced some really great software and the latest project, code named "Lenny" has resulted in a couple of really outstanding derivatives, AntiX and its parent SimplyMEPIS. In addition, the Debian project "Sid", has led to the creation of an awesome cutting edge system called sidux. Any of the three would make a great Christmas gift for the Linux geek in your life.
This Christmas season, there is some really great software that is available. There are easy to use systems, really fast, lightweight, state of the art and cutting edge. Only one of these systems (at the time this article was written) have reached their final release, that being sidux 2008-04. But the other two, SimplyMEPIS 8.0 Release Candidate 1 and AntiX M8.0 Public Test 1, are every bit as solid and useful as sidux, not to mention even easier to install and use.
We can thank the Debian projects for putting together an extremely robust set of packaging tools, rigorous testing procedures, and an excellent assortment of software. The result is that there have been a wealth of outstanding distributions created to meet a wide variety of interests.
