cork1958 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I do believe I've heard of all of them but DSL was only distro I ever attempted to play with. Was pretty much before my time of delving to far into Linux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zikalify Editor Posted January 24, 2023 Editor Share Posted January 24, 2023 Antergos was replaced by EndeavourOS and CrunchBang by BunsenLabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good Bot, Bad Bot Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 So I guess when you said "popular" you were being sarcastic.

shockz Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 None of those mentioned in the video outside of maybe DSL were actually really popular distros. spikey_richie 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spikey_richie Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 According to Distrowatch, the popularity for this goes as: Crunchbang#! - Not ranked. https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=Crunchbang Damn Small Linux (DSL) - not ranked. https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=damnsmall Hannah Montana - Doesn't exist in the distrowatch database Ubuntu Satanic Edition. Can't find it. CinnArch/Antergos - Not ranked. https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=antergos Not exactly "very popular", according to a reputable source. Most popular are on the right-hand side on the distrowatch homepage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Raphaël G. MVC Posted January 24, 2023 MVC Share Posted January 24, 2023 Thanks for posting this. I love trips down memory lane. However I wish people creating such videos would do more research. There are always lots of "I think" and "I might be wrong about this" in their videos. spikey_richie 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+virtorio MVC Posted January 24, 2023 MVC Share Posted January 24, 2023 The words "Very Popular" are doing a lot of heavy lifting there. Sikh 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+InsaneNutter MVC Posted January 25, 2023 MVC Share Posted January 25, 2023 I remember Damn Small Linux (DSL) it was ported to the original Xbox as xDSL and ran pretty well with the Xbox's limited 64mb of ram. You can still download that and a few other Xbox distros from SourceForge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/xbox-linux/files/ Unless we are rewriting history, I'm pretty sure Hannah Montana Linux was a meme os of the time. I remember Neowin's Shift Linux distro also. +Matthew S. and Brandon H 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, Mandrake...waaay back when I was little this was going to be my first foray into the world of Linux. Unfortunately I was still too young and lacking the knowledge to figure out how to install it. It's funny now that I'm older and I'm thinking, "but that would have been a piece of cake to do," but at the same time I'm glad I had the common sense not to bother. We only had one computer in the house, and if I had borked that up there would have been no one around to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
