Zen Mini 2010

Postby gnuuser » 28 Aug 2010, 16:27

last night i Just installed Zen Mini 2010 in my test-bed pc (emachine media center 2.8 mhz.proc, 1 gig ram, on-board graphics, sound, Ethernet, and it actually detected my linksys wireless card)
runs at a good clip (but could use more memory)
has good apps (but i didn't get too much into it as it was late)
I'll check it out further this afternoon
looks to be a great distro

Interesting. Link?

Yes it is a good idea to have a minimal Gnome for traditional distros. On Arch you start with a minimal and build on it. Do I guess I already have a minimal Gnome.
Manjaro 64bit on the main box -Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz and nVidia Corporation GT200b [GeForce GTX 275] (rev a1. + Centos on the server - Arch on the laptop.
