    Easy and Solid

    Date: Nov 17 2023
    Summary

    Good and solid distribution. If we have 2 GB of Ram the system will go. If we have more that 2 GB everything is very fast.

    Positive

    BunsenLabs make OpenBox very easy to use in a day routine on computer. The base of this operating system is Debian and we can get software from Debian repositories. After install we are presented to a script that helps us to install LibreOffice, OpenJdk and Printer support. Nice job and excellent design. I like the Dragon theme.

    Negative

    1. The installation is from Debian installer so, we have to read carefully each step on installation, but it just requires more attention, not a handicap;
    2. We have to study OpenBox. Not a handicap, but an invite to learn.
