There are two plain vanilla editions (Diet Swift Linux and Regular Swift Linux) and three special editions (Taylor Swift Linux, Minnesota Swift Linux, and Chicago Swift Linux). Minnesota Swift Linux features the Duluth lift bridge at login, the Spoonbridge and Cherry sculpture on the desktop, and audio clips of loons at startup. Yes, these special editions are inspired by Hannah Montana Linux. > > Swift Linux is lightweight, user-friendly, and fully compatible with the large Debian software repository. No other distro can compete with Swift Linux on all three of these criteria. If you wish that Puppy Linux had a large software repository, or if you wish that Linux Mint could be as lightweight as Puppy Linux, then this is the distro for you. > > Swift Linux gives that old computer a new lease on life! Windows XP support ends on April 8, 2014. Instead of spending hundreds of dollars on a new computer or slowing down your old computer with a costly and bloated "upgrade", make the REAL UPGRADE to Swift Linux. > > P.S. Swift Linux NEEDS more developers! The version control system is GitHub (https://github.com/swiftlinux), and the bug/goal tracker is Launchpad.net (https://launchpad.net/swiftlinux). Developers who have worked on any of the following distros are especially appreciated: > Linux Mint (very successful track record and user-friendly) > Puppy Linux (very lightweight and user-friendly) > antiX Linux (parent distro of Swift Linux) > MEPIS Linux (parent distro of antiX Linux) I always wonder if this is serious or just intending to be humorous. On a slightly different humorous note, I like finding distros with the longest "lineages" For example Turbo-Awesome linux (used by it's creator Steve, and 3 of his friends), based on Mint, which is based on Ubuntu, which is based on Debian is a 3. I thought at one point I had found one with 5, but am unable to remember which distro that was, other than it was ultimately based on Slackware. Debian -> MEPIS -> antiX -> Swift would be a 3. What's the best anyone's got? I'm waiting for things to compile and could use a good laugh. - -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJN5lY2AAoJEKFq1/n1feG2/9AH/iarzXGdQDwdcQard0T3NIlB Ekl3MI8mf7/JfoqiW+LI2stZP7Cc2E8dmaCS1vRoJGVQnFMA1fLaOOO52oQN9ems rb4mCbD0djPfEWCO3gnXc/5S11sG1FuUWdbKR2k8/o2CUvUGkp95qdT6yIB/KV4d t28a7cAa0gzEVF3V1MDLUL9Z0pJngoql7+Ei71bsRrtJBSQ/FYKdiIEwd6+1miV5 lPB65vaBE7Nt7C9CDKIzWgempLAylvU9WomyFnliNmRZcuEoOCtBxiT1324oxa3+ RUOZJSh9E9KQaG+qWsq/li/5CaMGE+AYffWKywLre5x/gMYi49dVeFyPv36yW6w= =qenS -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
