Review: Lightweight Linux Distributions

May 26th, 2008 | Category: OS

Abandoned Zone reviewed several lightweight Linux distributions, and concluded: “First of all it has to be clear that there’s a difference amoung ‘lightweight’ and ‘lightweight’. particularly Damn Small Linux is very lightweight, but plus it’s not really usable on ‘more recent’ systems. It think DSL is perfect for 486 or

Pentium 1-based systems but nothing more. At the other side there are Zenwalk and Xubuntu which are pretty heavy lightweight distributions. I think the use of Xfce has something to do with that. All the others are floating amidst those two extremes.”
