For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

This distro continues it's well earned reputation as a solid and stable operating system. Easy and fluid installation.
Could it be an everyday drive? Yes, if you know what you want to do with it.

Currently running on an EeePC 250 meg SSD with 2 gig of ram. System is fast and responsive.
