Screenshots of Sidux 2007-03 preview1 E-mail
Written by Administrator   
Tuesday, 31 July 2007

Sidux  2007-03  preview1  was  released  on  23rd July 2007.  I  have always turned away  from

sidux 2007-01  and  sidux  2007-02.  The boot screen  and the  desktop  were not aesthetically

compatible with my preference.  The  fonts  were also not visually  attractive  although  I have

never preferred the Microsoft truetype fonts. The thing  that  drives me  into publishing these

screenshots  of Sidux 2007-03 preview1 is because of the much  improved artworks and better

fonts. For your information, sidux's ranking has enjoyed  a  big jump from 36th placing (based

on 12 months period) to 23rd placing (based on 6 months period)  on  Distrowatch's  Page  Hit

Ranking. Sidux 2007-03 preview1is powered by Linux kernel 2.6.22, KDE 3.5.7, and X.Org 7.2.

This wallpaper  is  indeed  a very excellent choice.

Now,  below are the screenshots of current stable version of sidux 2007-02. In my opinion, the

artworks  in  sidux 2007-03 preview1 are better.  However,  your  opinion maybe  different  from

mine.  It showed that the sidux developers have given more deserved attention to aesthetics.

By the way, another improvement  seen in sidux 2007-03 preview1 is the fonts used.

The Bitstream Vera Sans 11  is  definitely  better!   Just  visit the Distrowatch  with  the

Iceweasal browser.   However in  insidux 2007-02,  the  Sans  Serif 12 was used instead.

 

 

The "DistroWatch Weekly" words looked better in sidux 2007-03 preview1.
