http://www.linuxandlife.com – If you still remember, Todd Robinson from On-Disk.com is trying to create and release 31 different usable and complete Linux distros everyday in August 2012. Three distros have been released, they are named SING, SOHO and Debian_live_VTWM. If you want to download and test these distros, you can check the mirrors here and here. These three distros are pretty big in size in my opinion, all are above 1.7GB. If you want to keep track of the 31 Flavors of Fun project, you can check Todd Robinson's blog, follow the twitter feed @31Distros31Days and participate in the forum (Distributions)

There is a joke that there are more Linux distros than the total amount of Linux users. When this saying is obviously exaggerating, it is true that we have a lot of Linux distros already out there. But there will be more.

SING is the first distro released by Todd Robinson for his 31 Flavors of Fun ( there are 4 available distros already). I was curious so I downloaded and put it into a USB drive anyway to test it.

Problems with Linux. 2 years 27 weeks ago

I have tested several linux distros these last four years and I wanted to post my experiences and what just downright urks me.

Minded me as I only had a limited amount of time to test distros and only the ones I tested are included.

A big one that needs to be addressed first is the size. Linux used to be a really small OS. Heck it used to be able to fit on a floppy disk.

Variety and choice have long been hallmarks of the Linux world, not least because new distributions emerge practically every day.

Variety and choice have long been hallmarks of the Linux world, not least because new distributions emerge practically every day. That's been just as true in 2012 as it has in other years gone by, meaning that as this year draws to a close, we have even more options

If you are a long time user of Windows or Mac and want to try Linux, there is a high chance that your first distro will be either Ubuntu, Linux Mint or Fedora since these distros are very popular. However, there are some other distros that are more suitable for beginners in my opinion.

I want to put my old laptop to use and install several of the most popular Linux distros on it. I currently have Windows 7 on it.

My question is: How do I create a set up such that when I start the laptop a list of all the different distros appear as options?

i'm newbie to this forum and found it after searching the entire internet for some sort of example or explanation of how and where to store other distros within an LVM partitioned system.

The success story post on "multiple distros single /boot partition" appears closer than anything else that i've found, but i'm still confused about the actual steps of what i need to do.

DreamLinux 5 review 1 year 2 days ago

When there are a lot of Linux distros around, most distros are unfortunately very similar in features to each other. However, DreamLinux is quite special, this Debian-based distro is one of the few distros that use Xcfe as the desktop environment and it also has a very unique set of preinstalled applications.

DreamLinux currently supports only 32 bit architecture.

Dear all ! As per my gr8 interest in open source system,I have chosen a project "design and development of a secure and reliable open source HMI/SCADA system." My HMI system have to communicate and cater data of a plant where 100s of processes will be running simultaneously. I am not very sure which Linux distros will best meet my need. I am not interested in SELinux.
