Review: Turbolinux 11 "Fuji"


Turbolinux has been around since 1992. Everyone knows about this commercial distro, but for some reason it never became as popular as SUSE or Mandriva. Turbolinux 11, code-named "Fuji," was released recently and I decided it was time to see if Turbolinux measures up to other Linux distros. The Fuji release has some interesting features, but I found the release to be a disappointment overall.
The system I used for the review is a Pentium 4 running at 2.54 GHz, with 512MB RAM, a 128MB TI4200 Nvidia video card, the SIS 7012 chipset for sound, and a SIS 900 network chipset onboard, and a DVD recordable drive.
Turbolinux 11 uses the Mongoose installer. Mongoose looks great, and is based on the Anaconda installer used by Fedora Core and a number of other Linux distros. It gives you all the freedom you want to configure the Turbolinux installation, but also offers the option to do the installation automatically, so you can sit back and let Turbolinux take over your system.
I really enjoyed the installer. It has nice details...
