"There's been quite a lot of talk about "the cloud"
lately so what better time to do a review of one of the best
cloud-oriented desktop Linux distributions? Peppermint OS One came
out a while ago and its successor has just been released.
Peppermint OS Two is based on Lubuntu 11.04 and, for the first
time, comes in a 64-bit edition. Lubuntu is a good choice as a base
for Peppermint OS Two since it runs well on older or slower
hardware.
"Peppermint OS Two uses web-based applications for much of its
default software. These applications are integrated into the
desktop by the Ice SSB framework and essentially make these
applications as much a part of the desktop as applications that run
locally. They run in a window on your desktop even when you aren't
using your browser."
