Ark Linux Review, A Distro with an Identity Crisis

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Monday August 21, 2006 @04:39PM from the who-wants-a-stable-identity dept.

mikemuch writes "ExtremeTech has a review of Ark Linux 2006.1, which launched earlier this month. Overall, the reviewer likes this free KDE-based distro, but had to question some implementation choices, such as using the less-compatible Konqueror over Firefox for its default web browser. And for a distro that bills itself as 'a Linux distribution for everyone — designed to be easy to install and learn for users without prior Linux' the installation should hide command-line scrolling and be able to more automatically install standard graphics card drivers."

Oh come on, before you start bashing them - look, they have a nice Tetris game for you to play while it installs!
That's got to be worth something, no?

This is why I like Ubuntu. They only claim to be "linux for human beings".
