   Review - SimplyMEPIS Linux

   8.5 (8.4.96) Beta 4 (Jan 8, 2010)

   Regrettably, Catchpole, your knowledge of Linux seems to be non-existent and your comments help no one save, perhaps, for making you look like a "big man" in, only, your own eyes. Bluntly you are nothing but a troll. Simply Mepis isn't a bad distribution by any means but what it gains in some customisation of the *buntu code base it, IMHO, loses by having a lesser number of expert users to turn to should you need guidance to solve a problem. New users would be better off, again IMHO, if they stuck with a main stream *buntu and more experienced users might be better suited to Arch or other distributions. Still, the code is good and it is an excellent OS thus a 5 star rating.

   Review - Mozilla Thunderbird (v3.1) for Linux

   3.0 RC2 (Dec 2, 2009)

   TB used to be my preference but having found it to take an age to open each and every time, crash far too often and use resources at a rate that made me wonder if a crash of the OS was in progress until I realised that TB was always the culprit...long story short I switched to Claws Mail. TB has many extensions but far too many seem to have been abandoned by their developers and it's too buggy, too slow to start, too resource hungry...hardy a good choice these days. There are better clients available.

   Review - Linux Reader

   2.2 (Sep 16, 2009)

   It does what it says it does but it's too limited as it won't manage ext4 file systems and Ubuntu (and other distros) are already moving towards ext4 releases...Karmik will use ext4 and jaunty can be configured to use it.

   2.2 Alpha 2 (Apr 11, 2009)

   Development hasn't stopped but the application has changed it's name and has evolved a fair bit too...see:

   Review - Transmute Standard

   1.08 (Dec 23, 2008)

   All that it does it does flawlessly yet I'd be happier still to see support for additional browsers added to the mix...Seamonkey, K-Meleon and Orca spring to mind.
