Often I come across someone who wants SolusOS explained to them. And 99% of the time I tell them, “I’m a developer. How can I tell you how its gonna be for a user?”. Well, thankfully, someone has finally done that for me. An email just turned up in my inbox notifying me of a podcast from Steve McLaughlin. About 54 minutes in, he gives his opinion on SolusOS. Needless to say I was very impressed, I almost forgot it was my project!
Thank you a lot guys, great review. Now I’m back to work as you suggested

Just gave it a listen. Very nice review, and very well deserved.
I agree, very nice
Excellent review. Well deserved. Hope it makes people sit up and take notice
Thank you very much hutch
Just heard the Review.
Congratulations, it’s completely deserved.
SolusOS is the Future distro.
So, so good …
Thank you very much sir
It was rough to hear the guy keep pronouncing the G in Gnome. Great job on the OS though, and very cool to hear others speak highly of your work.
I must admit, up until I listened to this review I had only run SolusOS in a VB on my Sony VAIO notepad running with LMDE but, on the strength of Steve’s remarks, (and the fact that Update 4 is still not out for us stability freaks), LMDE is now gone and it is now running very sweetly with SolusOS RC2.
The SolusOS install may not be Newbie friendly yet, as far as disk partitioning is concerned but, the rest is very straight forward. This looks like my solution as to which distribution I put an 80+ year old neighbour’s computer on to. (Currently she is on Linux Mint 10 32 bit.)
A word of warning for those coming from LMDE with a separate Home partition:
as always back up the data then wipe the Home directories of everything. I didn’t and it caused quite a few problems with the Gnome 2 desktop!
I have one thought on the Software Manager, is there a way applications could be ordered when searching the list? I don’t know if there is an order but I have found it a problem to find specific applications if you don’t know the actual name and the results from a search appear to be haphazard.
Now I have loaded on my favourite desktop theme, (Clearlooks2-Squared-Berries) plus the Gnome Wise Icon set, visually there are very few differences between the looks (especially to my old eyes) of my old Mint and the new SolusOS. But SolusOS Rocks!
I translate google for conveniance to you:
Your fish is like SolusOS the RC. I love my heart. You should never even think of eating GNOME2 alive, let alone Gnome Shell lying in bed, his feet on the shoulders of your barking dog ^ ^ What the md5sum of Ubuntu philosopher. A WE-SUM performance IKEY By the way, your name sounds in my language as a shopping mall ^ ^
So in the end, the wise old philosopher once food has a yellow fish word vomit. That’s not smart, Jelo tilt stone business, but in my opinion, on the right foot.
My dear friend, how shall I go from here? Me, you know?
Mint or 3.0 version?
3.0.0 kernel is the way to go.
Lenovo is my laptop, the ThinkPad T520 and black really strong. Shallst know all the animals
