When I rebooted the PC (I know it was not necessary, but when I realized he had sent the reboot command), I opened gnome. The first thing I checked is I booted faster than Ubuntu , Mint or openSUSE on this laptop.
I started watching the programs that brought gnome by default. Absolutely nothing fancy or new, what I did find straight win of Debian is that the codecs for mp3, wma, asf and wmv came preinstalled.
Gnome (version 2.22) was walking fairly well. I say regularly because speed was not what I would say the best. However, I chalked it up to the RAM. On the other hand, I tried to install wine , fearful that the experience was as bad as Edubuntu. I opened a couple of simple games with him. The result? He went better than I supposed. When opened I Want to Be The Guy , I saw with delight that when a child exploited, the game does not put slower. Course will involve how much I liked it. Best of all, they tried and tried and tested software of different types (from Druglord to Digsby ), and the system never hit me. Error, correct it. I dropped only when Abi OpenArena.
After
of the above, I installed my tablet, a 8x6 MousePen Genius, following the steps here . Once proven entire platform, was a bit slow. I wondered if MicroXP was still the best option for my note. However, I was an experiment I wanted to check before anything.
I put the first DVD in Debian, reformatted and installed the system, now with KDE. Yes, I had problems by not creating a root password, so I redid the installation. Once installed the system, with all the corresponding software, rebooted ... kdm opened and then put my user and my password ...
flew.
KDE flying in my note. I could not believe it. Open programs, and it was almost instantaneous. The only trick was to install ndiswrapper, get the service in the system, then the driver of the tablet, and use it has been said. He activates some desktop effects but I took them out to honor the system speed. I tried to open the programs. Amarok was not coming, but the installation with apt-get was instantaneous. I ran every program by default, and all went very well and quickly. So I was using KDE for a couple of days, until I updated my laptop putting over 512 MB of RAM, and after make a backup again, I put Windows 7. But that's another story.
My personal opinion
Honestly, when I got Debian, feared that a facility was very difficult, especially over the issue of not knowing what packages need to do, but with the graphical installer, the process was very simple; even more than Ubuntu (even running the installer in expert mode).
The DVD was not live, but never mind. The amount of software available is huge, and if you know what you want, do not take more than a few seconds to have your program.
I inevitably compare Debian over other Linux systems I've used. Since Xubuntu (a record of failure and lack of interface), Ubuntu Ultimate 1.2, 1.4, Linux Mint Daryna / Elyssa, Elyssa XFCE Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, OpenSUSE 10 and Puppy Linux. Among all these, I'll stick with Debian. This system, as I remarked, as steady as a rock buried in the beach. Linux Mint would come second, both for its attractive visual theme as default for the Mint tools. And third would Puppy Linux, which despite having an interface that is not completely my taste, he was very loose (it was the idea) and fast. Debian sin of being slightly ugly, but a quick visit to gnome-look, kde-look , or xfce-look debian-art is enough to change that.
I could not see how it goes Compiz on my machine, so I can not give details. If I ask for a recommendation, try it. The system will not fall easily, and is something that is noticeable from the very beginning when compared to any other distro derived from this. Remember that Debian is the father of Ubuntu, and therefore, the grandfather of many other distros based on the latter.
lowered further recommend the DVD versions. Save much time installing software in the future.
Oh, and the data sheet.
Operating System: Linux Debian
Kernel: 2.6.26-1-686 (At least the one I used)
Minimum RAM: 44 MB for a console-only system, 128 MB for Gnome / KDE, 64 MB for LXDE / XFCE.
Disk Space: The standard installation (without adding anything) is approximately 2.2 GB of disk. Varies somewhat depending on the desktop environment.
Website: http://www.debian.org .
PD: Oh, by the way, as data. I did not take screenshots of KDE because at the time I forgot. However, they can see a screenshot I took out-of-intention: http://htfcuddles.deviantart.com/art/Debian-KDE-122926854 .
PD2: XMMS does not exist in the Debian repositories. I had to install it manually from another source.
