Triaging a trio

” A little while back I did a rapid-fire review of three
distributions in one set. A few readers e-mailed to ask if I would
do this again with new projects and this seemed like a good time to
honour those requests. I grabbed three distributions which had
recently been added to the DistroWatch waiting list and gave them
each a one-day test run. Here are my first impressions of these
projects in no particular order.

“Upstream OS 6.0

“Upstream OS Upstream OS is a distribution which was put
together using SUSE Studio. The project’s website says Upstream OS
exists to act as a base for other projects. That is, a developer
can clone Upstream OS and use it as a starting point for their own
distro. This mission statement seems to be a bit on the redundant
side as I consider it to also be the purpose behind SUSE Studio
itself. The rest of the website is elegant, but sparse on
information. I like the layout and it’s easy to navigate, but there
isn’t much information about the distribution yet. There is a forum
for asking questions and some screen shots available.”
