A quick update here; I'm now testing Saline (1.7). It's one of the best looking distros I've used but unfortunately it only uses "free" aps (i.e. not firefox, opera etc.) and Iceweasel crashes on youtube sometimes so I installed Iceape instead. You have to install flash too (I used flashplugin-nonfree).Colonel Panic wrote:Yes, oops! It must have selected the wrong keyboard when it loaded. Sorry to anyone who struggled to read my post. It's a good distro anyway even if I can't use it at home at the moment.nooby wrote:Thanks, Surprise that that version of Bloathy produce ä and ö

I'm testing out Solus and Saline at the moment, two distros based on Debian. Saline uses XFCE as its desktop manager whereas Solus uses Gnome 2 instead. I like the look of Saline a bit better (lovely wallpaper of a school of dolphins swimming underwater, for a start), but Solus comes with Firefox as standard whereas I couldn't find a way to install Firefox from the live disk, so Solus was the one I installed.
It's my first day of using it but already it looks very impressive.
Otherwise it's working fine so far. I think Swift 2, based on Mint Debian, is less trouble though not as visually attractive (it doesn't really aim to be).
