Granular Linux Distro Preview is Worth a Look
Linux.com has an interesting look at Granular Linux, a desktop-oriented distribution that's primary goal is to be easy to use. "With a single CD's worth of included programs, Granular Linux manages to cover a significant portion of normal end user needs, and those applications not already installed can be easily added through Synaptic. The slight problem with video and more serious problem with sound of my machine suggest that Granular is not without its issues, especially when most other distributions work properly on this hardware, but as this is a preview release of version 1.0 I think it can be more or less forgiven. I'd definitely recommend Granular to anyone with an interest in trying out a new distribution. "
To whoever modded me troll, care to elaborate on WTF makes this distro so special that you'd waste mod points defending it? I'm quite serious. All I saw was yet another half-baked attempt to start yet another derivative distribution rather than doing anything new or different. It wouldn't even recognize the reviewer's sound card, for Gods' sake.
