A look at Wolfer Linux 2

“The Wolfer Linux distribution is developed by a small team who
seem to be operating on two assumptions: one, that Ubuntu makes a
good base from which to build a distro and, two, a good user
interface can go a long way toward making a good product. Wolfer,
version 2, is based on Ubuntu “Lucid”, a long-term support release
that is nearing its first birthday. The downloadable ISO image is
approximately 780 MB in size and doubles as a live DVD and
installation media.

“The live disc boots into a text menu which lets us select
whether we’d like to try Wolfer without touching the hard drive or
perform an installation. Taking the default option boots us into a
GNOME 2.30 desktop environment. The menu bar and task switcher sit
at the bottom of the screen, an icon for browsing the file system
and another for launching the installer sit on the desktop. The
theme is big on grey; the wallpaper is grey, the menu bar is grey
and the icons feature grey. The application menu uses a
high-contrast combination of black text on a white background and
it crams a lot of items into the small space.”
