Pinguy OS an out-of-the-box working operating system for everyone, not just geeks.

This OS is for people that have never used Linux before or for people that just want an out-of-the-box working OS without doing all the tweaks and enhancements that everyone seems to do when installing a fresh copy of Ubuntu or other Linux based Distro's.

Pinguy OS is an optimise build of Ubuntu 11.04 Minimal CD with added repositories, tweaks and enhancements that can run as a Live DVD or be installed. It has all the added packages needed for video, music and web content e.g. flash and java, plus a few fixes as well. Like fixing the wireless problems, gwibber’s Facebook problem and flash videos in full-screen.

Sweet. I've been using Linux Mint myself, recently. There are a few quirks, like the system has frozen a couple of times while listening to music in Banshee, but otherwise seems pretty solid.

It's currently rated the 4th most widely used OS, just under Canonical's Ubuntu. And with all the changes Canonical has been making lately that nobody seems to like (namely Unity), it wouldn't surprise me if it slides into 3rd before long.

I don't know much about Mint, and I just heard of this Pinguy, but it looks like the dev has taken a lot into consideration as far as optimizing it

I've taken a fondness to CentOS lately.

I had a fondness. I got tied of consistent dependency issues. I switched to Ubuntu server. I like it so far.

I went from Gentoo Minimal Install. (Talk about dependency hell, compiling everything from source) and then centos, but I wanted easier, so I am using Ubuntu lol
