Yet Another Dud Linux Distribution.

Dream Linux, yet another one of the almost 1000+ different versions of
Linux proves itself to be yet another dud.

Tell me, do they actually test these things before they foist them on the
general populous?

"One reason I wanted to take a look at DreamLinux 3.0 was it's claim on
their website that they had the easiest tool to install DreamLinux 3.0 to a
USB Key. Well, it is an easy tool.. If it worked.. It didnt work for
me.. But maybe others had better success. Wasn't any problem with the key
as it was brand new and made bootable and upon not working at all in
DreamLinux 3.0 I immediately had no issues placing my favorite Puppy Linux
3.0.1 on same key.

Maybe they need to work at this... :) Could just have been me too...."

It wasn't him.
I just tried it and it tanked on me too.

So here we have another Linux piece of junk destined for the bitbucket.

Humor me a little, why can't you Linux loons get together and create a
single distribution that actually works as designed instead of all these
hamstrung distributions that have *issues*.

Oh, I forgot it's all about choice.

What good is choice when everything you get to choose from stinks?

Try plugging your USB Key in a USB port on your computer rather than up your
ass. Might work then.

Cheers.

According to distrowatch.com about 360 active Linux distributions. If
they're all duds, then you have nothing to worry about, so crawl home!

As far as my own computer use is concerned, ubuntu works and does what
/i want, from a obsolete freebie laptop with 256 mb of ram, and 10"
screen, to big servers with a lot of expensive hardware.
the only annoying thing is that it does not hibernate on my big laptop.

I would say not hibernating on a laptop is a pretty big problem.

Try man -S 4 girls. They're a special file.

It is a big problem. I do not like it. But given that everything else
functions smoothly and there is an unlimited amount of what I can do,
I accept it. But it is a problem worth mentioning.

As far as I know, they are fully redoing hibernation in the newer
kernels and it will hopefully work better.

For we have studied long what comes from some software places mouths, and it
does need to be stopped. In usual Linux style a start is being made with the

This has no relevance to the group I'm reading it in and just smacks of
petty point scoring.

Get a bloody life, for crying out loud.

FWIW Puppy Linux is pretty decent.
At least it's different from the run of the mill Linux distribution.

Ask the reviewer about his "favorite Puppy Linux" . . . .

Install XP and VMWare. Strip out everything you don't need from XP.
Set Zone Alarm so that VMWare (and machines it virtualizes) can talk
freely, but nothing else on XP can get out.

Then run Ubuntu as a virtual machine and let VMWare and/or XP
handle the hibernation.
