"Over my months of reviewing nearly every distribution I could get my hands on, one distribution that repeatdly came up was Libranet. "Why haven't you reviewed Libranet? I love it!" was a common stance-so I figured I better see what all the fuss was about. What I found was a distribution like no other. At only version 1.8.1, Libranet has really done some exceptional things to Debian-things that certainly make Corel's and Stormix's additions look rather meager."

"Aside from the Debian installation process, Libranet is very easy to use, but not too easy. Libranet requires a little more knowledge on your end, but the tools are setup to help you learn Linux, which is an approach I have not seen previously."

"An excellent distribution that has a new approach to packaging and system usage. Definitely worth a look for users who enjoy Debian, or simply would like to give a new distribution a go. Easy to use Linux without dumbing it down too much make it a good choice for both new and experienced users alike."
