Review: Bonzai Linux 3.1 |
|
| The cahtech web site has reviewed the recently released Bonzai Linux 3.1: "The key to Bonzai is that it is a nice small initial download with only the Debian installer creating any delays. Debian gives you a good solid and stable core which is expandable with ease. You can make it into anything you want. It might need more effort as you go along, but it is worth cutting down on the crap. That might be harsh and vulgar, but it is true. Most of the packages that are installed today with a 'full' distribution are dire and often are ignored...if you even know what half of them do." The full review.

Distribution Release: Bonzai Linux 3.1 |
|
| A new release of Bonzai Linux is out: "After hard and long nights of development, version 3.1 of the Bonzai Linux distribution has been released. Bonzai Linux is optimized to fit on a 180MB mini CD. It is based on the current stable Debian distribution called 'woody', containing a customized version of boot-floppies and an easy to use installer. Bonzai uses Kernel 2.4.20 and includes the light-weight windowmanager XFce4 to make installation on older machines possible. Login.app allows you to log in to your system. Synaptic has been added to make package installation easier. Bonzai Linux should be used as a strong and stable base for your Debian based Desktop PC and can be enhanced with all your favourite Debian packages."

Bonzai Linux - Debian on a Diet |
|
| Bonzai Linux is a free slimmed-down version of Debian Woody, designed to fit on a miniature 180MB CD. With subtle improvements such as a newer kernel, a more up-to-date KDE, plus a few other tweaks, Bonzai is in fact an improved version of Debian's netinst CD. This is a minimalist approach, designed to get Debian quickly up and running on your network. Once you have a basic Debian install, you can then grab thousands of packages which are available from Debian mirrors on the Internet. Travel writer and Debian zealot Robert Storey recently grabbed a copy of Bonzai and spent a weekend with it, putting it through its paces (and putting aside other distractions such as eating and sleeping). The morning after, a slightly disheveled Robert shares his impressions.

Distribution Release: Bonzai Linux 2.1 |
|
| The highly active Debian-based Bonzai Linux project has released another update, version 2.1: "Because Kernel Version 2.4.21 doesn't seem to be stable enough to be integrated into Bonzai Linux, we had to switch back to Kernel 2.4.20. Some new .po files have been updated, too." See the announcement in English or German. Download: bonzai_2_1.iso (185MB).

Distribution Release: Bonzai Linux 2.0 |
|
| Version 2.0 of Bonzai Linux has been released: "Immediately after the release of version 1.8, the Debian based mini-distribution Bonzai Linux is now available in version 2.0. The step in the version numbering scheme should indicate that this is a 'stable' Release. Changes have only been made to the kernel version." See the announcement in English or German and the changelog. Bonzai Linux is a modified Debian boot CD with the latest Kernel 2.4 21, KDE 3.1.2, hardware auto-detection, file system setup and simplified software selection during its installation; it can be used as a stand-alone distribution or as an improved Debian install CD.

At one point or another gamers can hit the wall when using other OS systems such as Linux and Mac, as Windows has always been renowned as the OS of choice for the gaming community. In a lot of cases this has changed somewhat over the last few years with the use of virtualization software that helps to bridge that gap, and it can be quite successful to a point. Of course, when you virtualize another OS you can lose some of the performance, than say running a game natively, and with slowdowns and bugs comes frustration. We have listed a few resources that we think are worth a mention for different types of gamers, both online multiplayer and single player, see what you think:
- World of Goo. This is a great puzzle game that will keep you busy for hours, there's also a free playable demo version.
- If you're a online poker enthusiast we can recommend you check out the pokerlistings.com Linux poker page, it has a list of poker apps that are compatible with your OS.
- For the MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game) crowds you could always take a look at Vendetta online, "thousands of people can play together, at the same time, in a single, persistent universe", sounds great!
