Iceweasel IS Firefox rebranded by Debian. Thunderbird has also been rebranded as Icedove in Debian. You call this a review?

hibernation depends on the system, if it’s a laptop, they almost all, if newer, support resume from disk, which is included and active on sidux by default, in powersaved, called kpowesave on kde.

You have to create a resume partition in /boot/grub/menu.lst, which is quite easy to do, just ask someone on oftc.net #sidux or on the sidux.com forums, they will show you how to do it.

For desktops, suspend to disk varies, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t, it depends on the motherboard, and age of machine.

Yes id have to aggree, what this shiftbackspace guy does not review, he only gives a skin deep opinion
Sidux is happily my default main development distro, it is entirely poerfect for my needs except for the pesky recompiling of the webcam drivers since kernels are updated quite frequently to stay oh so lovely bleeding edge
suspend-to-disk/hibernation, this com dosen’t have the time to sleep, lol, i seed basically 24/7 from ktorrent.
Also, that generic sidux-broswer button, can be selected to launch any browser you so desire installed on the system, just apt-get istall siduxcc (sidux control center) for a nice little addon in the KDE Control Center for various things.

Yes it’s a review, short, sweet and to the point. The Iceweasel/Firefox misunderstanding isn’t going to stop me from trying out Sidux.

I have never tested Sidux, but if I am not mistaken Sidux is a bleeding edge rolling release distribution. I think stuff like that is important to mention in a review as it’s what makes Sidux stand out from many other Debian based distributions. I’d like to try Sidux some time, but rolling releases is not everyones cup of tea as it means things is likely to break from time to time.

Sidux is bleeding edge for sure.

I decided to try it out just for laughs, thinking it would be nothing but trouble but was I wrong. It ended up replacing all the distros I’ve tried and many are top ten.

I’ve been using it on my main machine for a few months now. I’m amazed at the stability of this distro.

Good stuff Sidux!

I was a bit concerned about using a distro based on sid but totally agree with hotdiggitydog (nice handle) I too am amazed at how stable the distro is.

I like your reviews, mate, but dark grey letters on a black background don’t make for easy reading.

Do us a favour, will you?

i,ll stick with linux mint 3.

I have been a sidux user for over a year now after using Red Hat and Slackware for 13 years. Sidux is a refreshingly different distro than what I have used in the past and very well worth it. So all you doubters out there just give sidux a try

From http://sidux.com/index.php?module=pnWikka&tag=siduxDeklaration :
“On 24 of November 2006 sidux was formed by a group of people who wanted to be the best Debian Sid live distro and hard disk install distro available.”

DeepDayze, I started using Sidux installed over Etch (the distro was not even released) this January, but over a year?

You seem to have missed the whole point of what sidux is about. It is debian unstable (sid) with a group of people constantly dist-upgrading and monitoring the repo for bugs. They then issue warnings on the forum and post bug fixes, most of which get fed back into debian.
Further to that the IRC channel provides fantastic support when it is needed. There is also a magnificent script called sm that also heads off many potential problems during a dist-upgrade and offers a whole plethora of tools.
Debian do not officially support sid but many people want to have the latest packages available in that repo. That’s where sidux comes in, it takes the pain out of sid by offering a support network for an otherwise unsupported system.
Some of us just can’t resist the cutting edge; sidux makes it possible to do without getting cut.

PS: You are obviously using a wide screen which is distorting the wallpaper in your screenshot. There is also a 1280×800 version just for folk like you. http://art.sidux.com/sidux-debian-1-ws.jpg

Cathbard: there is a wide version distributed in the wallpaper package - see /usr/share/wallpapers/sidux-wide.png

@Venkain:

Err, actually should be ALMOST a year…I was using its predecessor Kanotix for a while until its development all but stopped and switched to sidux upon its release.

I just replaced my no-longer-upgradable Kanotix install with Sidux, and wish I had done it earlier!
BTW, debian-multimedia.org has the codecs and packages not included with purist distros, and this makes setting up Sidux systems even more convenient. Add to sources.list, apt-get update, and rock on.

I have been using Sidux since it was first released. I even run it on my main business laptop and works without a hitch. It is also running on 7 soon to be 8 machines. Just happy user, stable and latest software; what else could a guy want? OK….Sidux and a cold beer!

Sidux is a great distro I’m using the new Gaia version and I was impressed how good everything is structured. I’m a linux user since 1996 and would say that this is one of the best distros around at the moment. I tried a lot of different including arch and even were BSD user for a while but due to problems with packages in Arch and not ported software for BSD I gave up on them and returned back to the good old debian in the face of Sidux.

Hi, i’m happy to see that so many like sidux. It’s my first distro ever, but I like it very much. Kind’a newbie with linux, but I had an older laptop and needed a system that was stable and easy. Monstly because I needed to get online anywhere. I was very happy when i discovered that I even manage to connect over my mobile phone. So this system works fanfastic for me.
