DreamLinux 2 2 Review A Nice Linux based OS based on XFCE

Number of Linux distributions just keeps on increasing, every now and then a new distro pops up claiming to be different from other but most of them are remarkably similar in features . However Dreamlinux was one distro I was highly impressed with to start with the distribution was based on XFCE as its default desktop environment which was a very welcome change considering that Gnome and KDE are resource hungry and do make your old hard-ware slow. It was nice to see a Linux distribution based on XFCE .There are few Linux Distribution based on XFCE and the most notable is Xubuntu.


I tested DreamLinux 2.2 Multimedia Edition on my IBM Thinkpad(Cel 1.4 Ghz , 256 MB RAM ) , the distribution was LIVE CD on booting the CD-ROM the grub menu provided a number of options for booting the distribution , it was the largest set of options i have seen for any distribution .

DreamLinux Booting Up

I chose the default option the system booted in less than a minute the Graphics looked really polished . The System booted in less than a minute , and this was how the desktop looked .

The most notable feature when you first boot into DreamLinux was the Mac OS like Dock Bar at the bottom which did provide a nice feel to the desktop.


Since DreamLinux claims to be a Linux Multimedia Distribution hence there were a number of tools for playing multimedia files . For playing video files GXine (Based on Xine) and Mplayer were installed by default . For Playing Audio files XMMS was installed and yes it did play MP3 files . The small XMMS player at top right corner of screen was really nice .




The Flash Player 9 was installed by default , I feel a lot of distributions should come with Flash preinstalled it does give a more finished look to distribution for Linux Newbies as Flash has now more or less become a important part of Internet browsing experience.


Firefox 1.5.07 was installed by default as Default Web Browser, now they could add opera also.

On thing i disliked was the huge size of icons , the icons are really huge with odd spacing,maybe DreamLinux team would like to correct this.

The software installed included Evince for viewing pdf files , GIMP(For Editing Images) , OpenOffice (Office Suite) , There was aMSN messenger , Bittornado for downloading torrent files , XFCE 4.4 the default desktop enviornment it is running ,XaraLX,Inkspace for vector Graphics , For Desktop Publishing Scribus is installed , GnomeBaker for Burning CD . Wine is also installed for running some windows applications .

Scribus

Xara LX(vector Graphics Software)

The root account could be used by typing sudo at the terminal similar to what Ubuntu does by default , root account was not activated by default .

Since tools for Writing into NTFS drives was installed by default i did not have any noticeable problem in writing to my windows partition, the distribution is based on Morphix and is Debian based so a number of repositories could be used for installing various application.

For accessing other partitions you have to go to Computer and mount the appropriate partitions they are not mounted by default.


Dream Linux comes with DCP(DreamLinux Control Panel ) for various configuration tools / utilities .

Speed Wise DreamLinux works like a charm being based on less resource hungry XFCE . Though I had some problem installing DreamLinux onto harddisk but overall DreamLinux is really good Linux Distro for someone new to Linux with a old hardware it works really well for playing Audio/Video files and surfing the Internet and being based on XFCE and stable Debian platform is another plus. Overall you could give this distro a try it might not be a OS you have Dreamed about but still is quite functional and since can work as a LIVE CD mode so you should have no problem trying it out.

Dragon Player Qt Written Multimedia Player for KDE Version 3 is On its Way!

Dragon player is a qt-written, multimedia front-end thats designed for the KDE desktop. As said its a front-end rather than a player engine (such as MPLayer or VLC, etc) thus you can set it to use either Gstreamer or with Phonon (the newlywed KDE multimedia framework).

Although the player itself is a bit awkward when viewing from a KDEs point of view because KDE is always about features and lots of options but the Dragon player is all about simplicity and less features!. Thus it loads fast and does its job quite nicely and many just love it.

Although I actually havent been using it for a long time but according to the KDE apachelogger, the Dragon player has been there with KDE for almost 4 years as the version 2 but yesterday at the current Berlin desktop summit, the developer of Dragon player Ian Monroe has announced that theres gonna be a Dragon player version 3 in the very near future!.

Few of the "things" expected in this release...

Although the "Blacky" background will most probably be removed which doesnt look that good actually ;-)...

"A revolutionary approach that will make it tons easier to watch a series of videos (yet to be unveiled ;))..."
