Debian and its clones This is the second in my series of reviews for debian-based commercial distros that might be appropriate for SOHO use. The first article covered my exploration of Lindows, and this one is focused on Libranet. Before I get started with Libranet I want to clarify a couple of points.

I am not sure about the style of writing. It gets the job done, I guess.

However, this kind of review is exactly what I want to read about Linux. I have played with Linux several times, and use it regularly as part of my work. But not a single distro quite made it as my permanent OS. I want an OS that just works. This kind of review is good because I really don't care which kernel I am running or whether it is KDE or Gnome or the like - I just want something that works out of the box, and allows me to add and remove stuff like I see fit.

From what I've been reading, Libranet and SUSE 9 are close to what I want. Mepis is one distro I am keeping an eye on, and can't wait for this series to review it ;)
