2009-04-21 - 2008.1 (VirtualBox) ∞

su
apt-get autoclean && apt-get update

NOTE: Do NOT do an apt-get dist-upgrade !! There is a lot of brokenness!

apt-get installkernel-source-2.6.18.8.tex6

In the VirtualBox menu, select Devices > Install Guest Additions

mkdir /mnt
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt
cd /mnt
./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run
reboot

Everything is happy.

The repos are completely fragged by PCLinuxOS though.

Not bad at all.

Doesn't have alt-rightclick-drag to resize a window.
Has no menu in it's taskbar. That's odd.
ctrl-alt-f3 has a different font than the others.
has the same xdm (or whatever) restart issue that I do. If I control-alt-backspace out, it'll drop me right back to the commandline instead of prompting me to log in again.
The clock is mediocre. I still like the third-party addon I use with fbpanel which was put out before LXPanel forked from fbpanel.

All in all, I have positive feelings towards TinyME. I think I could switch to it without any significant issues.

At this point it was a PCLinuxOS remaster.

Very small download, very nice setup.
- How the heck did he get it this small? Wow.
The fonts seem off, especially in Opera.
Too many choices for some apps - three terminals? =/
Some silly preferences, could use some polish for hotkeys and such.
Won't work with my button 4/5 - could be an issue with Opera though.
Stupid-fast synaptic. I'm shocked.
Very nice internal control panel. It shows real hope.
It's using its own repository? Whoa..
- I can't even install Firefox. Boo!
I can't alt-rightclick-drag to resize? That sucks!
