Review: GoblinX 2.0
Released on April 30, GoblinX 2.0 is a live CD Linux distribution based on Slackware from Brazil. According to DistroWatch, “the primary goal for GoblinX is to create a more pleasant and functional desktop, standardising (sic) all icons and themes to make it easy for novice users to learn about available applications.” Never having heard of it before, I decided to download it and give it a try.
GoblinX is a Live-CD that is based on the excellent Slackware, developed and maintained by Flavio de Oliveira a.k.a Grobsch and created by using Linuxlive scripts. It is directed towards those users whose appreciate quality applications and a workspace that is both practical and beautiful. It contains some of the most often used and praised applications for Linux, a completely operational Linux system inside a single CD-ROM, runs from any CD-ROM drive without requiring the installation and can be easily costumized by everyone.
I’m certainly a user who appreciates quality applications and a workspace that is both practical and beautiful.
One other feature of note is the distribution is available in five different languages (English, French, Portuguese, Spanish and Deutsch).
I downloaded the ISO from the server in Brazil and it cruised along at a little over 100KB/s. I probably should’ve tried the BitTorrent, but it didn’t matter that much. The file downloaded was GoblinX-2.0.iso.
