Pinguy OS – Distro Review

“My favourite type of distros are Ubuntu based. For some time
now I have been making a case for why you should be using Linux
Mint. Even though I think Mint is fantastic, I still make it a
point to try other distributions. I made a pit stop at Zorin 3 for
a short while and even though it had many wonderful qualities it
didn’t quite knock Linux Mint out of my top spot.

“I have now found my new favourite distro and it goes by the
name of Pinguy OS. Pinguy OS started off as an Ubuntu 10.04 Minimal
CD that was customized like no other to include a fantastic range
of default applications, Gnome applets, Firefox addons, and
theme.”
