So you choose based on artwork? It is a life saver for non-internet users and the like. It is upto Clem to use what pleases his eye because it is his distro.

And a 64bit one is in the pipeline IIRC.

Not exactly "better". It's "more" than just Ubuntu 8.10.

[MetalheadGautham]

What next ? Galena ?
Then perhaps Helena ?

 

[Hitboxx]

I don't know, Gloria, Georgia... I like Gloria.

There was(is) a big discussion on the same, can't find that thread now, you may try, though I'm sure Clem must have finalized on it long back.

 

[MetalheadGautham]

Didn't anyone notice that galena is supposed to be an ore of lead ?

Thanks for the update. After using Dreamlinux's XFCE edition, I'm now very confused of choosing the right DE for me. I like GNOME and KDE, but I don't like KDE for its bugs :-/ Mint seems to have a look and feel of XFCE very similar to GNOME. Soooo..... confusing. I don't intend to use fluxbox. Still thinking as to which to download. I think I'll wait till all the community editions are released for 6 and then see if there are any noticeable change in the UI of the DEs.

I am waiting for Malena
