Re: Fancy features of Storm Linux
I've installed Sotrm for someone as a workstation and my first impression
was that it is a good distribution, specially for
beginners... Installation is easy and creating dual boot (something of
what I think most beginners in Linux start with, linux and windows) was
really a piece of cake. No need to alter any configuration files or
something like that (at least you don't HAVE to, of course you can, and I
did).
The one thing that bothered me most about Storm was that during
installation I set my root password, but after reboot it was gone, to my
opinion that a HUGE security bug. Then there are a few other thing during
installation that were kind of buggy, once I tried the 'back'
button... the only thing I could do after that was switching to a tty and
reboot.
On the whole I think Storm is a distribution that 'll need some work, but
they are on their way...
