Read a review of this today and thought I'd take a look. The name
should indicate the idea behind it. It's based upon PCLinuxOS. The ISO
is about 200M.
I set it up as a VM on my Xubuntu 7.10 laptop with 256m RAM and had it
boot from the ISO (it's a live cd).
Damn impressive overall. There's an option to install to a disk (I did)
or a USB drive (I might).
The included monitor shows it never hits full use of processor, RAM, or
drive space (I used a 2G virtual drive). I opened up a bunch of
programs and it was smooth as silk. Since the review mentioned a flash
drive, I'm going to give that a shot. They recommended 2G minimum.
I liked PCLinuxOS when I tried it out a little while back. I think it
was the package mgr that turned me off, but this came with Synaptic
(apt), which I prefer.
I had no idea that OSes could run this well with small space and
resources. It would be a great OS for older hardware as well as current
(why I use xfce instead of KDE).
In this short period, I can say I like it and if you're looking for a
lightweight distro, you should try it.
I'm not an eye-candy person, but it's pretty attractive out of the box.
Enjoy.
