Two newish Linux distributions to try: Sidux and wattOS

| | Comments (0) |

There's been quite a bit of rumbling about Sidux, a 2-year-old distribution based on the unstable Debian Sid GNU/Linux, with a shortish Carla Schroder review and a "why the hell does it exist" slamming from Matt Asay.

It means I'll have to try it.

An even newer Ubuntu-based distro is wattOS, which is designed to save power.

While still in an alpha state, it appears to be another one to try. Full power management under Linux is extremely important — and not always achievable.
