Linux Universe: Libranet – GNU/Linux Bliss

“This is my review of Libranet 2.8.1, a Debian based GNU/Linux
distribution. This was my first experience with Libranet, but I was
impressed with what I saw…

“The installation is text based, but it is very clearly laid out
and easy to use. It occurs in two stages. During the first stage
you begin the install process by booting off the CD (or you can
create floppies if the machine does not support CD booting), do the
partitioning, set the time zone, and install the base system. The
base system install is an automatic process, no package selection
or any other advanced configuration was necessary. I found the
entire process to be intuitive and easy. It flawlessly detected the
existence of Windows on another partition and asked me if I wanted
to add it to the boot menu. If you wish to see some screen shots of
the process or get additional help on the install before you begin,
be sure to look at the Libranet Installation Guide. In short it was
a breeze to install and would have received a full +2 if it were a
full GUI installer. If you are a moderate to advanced GNU/Linux
user this is not an issue at all, and you can view this as a
+2…”
