Sidux, a Great Alternative to Ubuntu, Part 2

By Carla Schroder
July 15, 2008

Last week we introduced ourselves to Sidux, the excellent Debian Sid implementation that makes Debian Sid a bit friendlier. Even though I thought I gave a number of reasons why a user might prefer Sidux to Debian Sid, or Ubuntu, or some other Debian derivative, they apparently were not clear to a number of readers. So here they are in nice bullet-pointed lists:

Why Sid Users Might Prefer Sidux

LiveCD
Direct Sid installation, instead of having to dist-upgrade from Testing or Stable
Excellent, super-fast fast installer with all choices at the beginning
Default installation includes only Free Software, with lots of help for users who also want non-Free packages

Why Ubuntu, or other Debian-derivative Users Might Prefer Sidux

100% compatible with Debian
Not heavily modified, just plain old Sid under the hood, and plain old KDE on top
Fluxbox option, and a good XFCE implementation
Excellent, well-organized user manual
