No Go...

No Go...

by Anonymous on Mar 02, 2002

Don't know what the rest on you guys have been smoking, but Peanut Linux is the most frustrating and pointlessly obscure version of Linux I've ever tried... no graphical interface on the install (text looks like an 80's BBS), forces you to format and make partitions without help... trying to install version 9.1 for the last two hours... the partition tool... the one that sizes stuff... doesn't work for me, just the main partition tool... sends me over and over in circles, offers no suggestions for sizes until you already size the partitions... then it just tells you you screwed up, still no help... all the other Linux distributions I've used have built in partitioning... I assume they're just trying to be anti-windows, but face it, a graphical install program is a GOOD thing, even if M$ uses it.

OK, I just switched off the computer... WAY too frustrating... I'll put Corel 1.2 back on the laptop.

Others reading, BEWARE... this is not a beginners, or even intermediate users Linux... I've used Linux for years... pass this one by... if you want a small Linux, install Corel... better yet, install Mandrake without some of the extras. Peanut may indeed be a nice Linux... if it can be installed without ripping the cd out and whirling it across the room... and that's highly unlikely. I assume most of the comments here were written by the developers... only way I can understand the glowing reviews.
