WattOS, the lightweight energy saving Linux distro, has just released an eighth version with a switch to Debian from an Ubuntu base. We like wattOS here at Linux User. The green Linux distro is lightweight, fast and ultimately an excellent distro to use day to day. Its optimisations for energy efficiency make it a great choice for laptops, generally energy-conscious users and older or slower hardware. Its been based on Ubuntu for a number of years but that’s changing with the latest release of the distro.

Oh, it's a nice precis of the event, but there's no link to the WattOS homepage, or the download page, or the changelog... none. And that's broken.

I agree that this is a nice summary of the new WattOS r8 release. OTOH, it seems to me that the article is not exactly clickbait, although Zwetslot DOES omit any helpful wattos links. Here are some super useful links all abt this new distro rel: http://planetwatt.com/ , http://planetwatt.com/blogs , http://www.planetwatt.com/pages/downloads

Furthermore, it also seems to me that now that WattOS has come out of the Babooon2 Dark Side, it will be another interesting distro to use for lowHW PC's.

Ah, ... how should I word this? What exactly is the Fluffer in Your Beer? Are we speaking of the mundane phenomena of surfactant action on pouring, i.e. Foam?

Or a more pertinent question:
Quoting: [...] come out of the Babooon2 Dark Side [...]


So do you implicitly admit by that statement it has a Light Side? If so does it waft of Mint?
