Peppermint OS One Review

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the does-it-come-in-an-altoid-tin dept.

JimLynch writes "I've covered a lot of remastered versions of Ubuntu since DLR launched. But, every once in a while, I bump into one that is particularly interesting to review. Peppermint OS One is definitely in that category. Peppermint OS One is a web-centric Ubuntu remaster that passes up common desktop applications like OpenOffice.org in favor of web-based alternatives such as Google Docs. And it doesn't stop with office applications either; Peppermint OS One integrates video sites like YouTube and Hulu right into the desktop experience."

    Run everything in memory, and you'll have incredibly fast app startup. Some distros allow you to do that. TinyCore Linux does it by default.

    I hadn't seen that - I have to play with it. Looks interesting!
