Frugalware 0.4 what a nice distro!
Frugalware is almost an unknown distro (at least for me) but when I read a while about Frugalware 0.4 I feel yeaah....this is a distro what I looking for.
Then I go to my friend who has a broadband internet connection and download Frugalware 0.4 DVD vrsion.
After finished I quickly jump to the next step....the most important step.....install Frugalware on my PC!!!
Installation is well nice stages....all seems to be simple.For the first time I choose to install as "normal" selection of packages it means it will install automatically without being have to choose one by one what libraries and etc I should install.
then after 45 minutes installation finished(on AMD sempron64 2500 512Mb) quiet long enough but it make sense since I choose almost all packages and also a lot window manager such as GNOME (2.14.0),XFCE(4.2.3),and KDE (3.5.1).
Now the moment of truth....going in to the desktop!!! I choose KDE since I really like it too much
WOW....Frugalware is great!!! everything is work fast and low memory and processor usage and the most important things for me is Frugalware DVD version is likely the most complete distro since I dont have a fast internet connection so this is important it has A complete multimedia packages and support a lot such as MP3,W32codec,DVD playback etc, Office suite with latest OpenOffice 2.0.2, graphics full support, Support for a lot of VGA driver including ATI and Nvidia driver.
Frugalware seems like Slackware but with a lot of tuning such as there are Package Manager and automounting CD/DVD/USB also Frugalware use Kernel 2.6.16
At the end I just can say "Simplicity,performance,stability,multimedia and design is absolutely brought by Frugalware"
