- | To test this system, I figured I’d use the operating system for about a week in an older, early 2000’s PC originally with Windows XP, and, to contrast, I also used my current PC with 1-3 year old hardware. I’ll give my experience on both computers, but you should know that the bulk of my testing was done on the newer machine. | + | To test this system, I figured I’d use the operating system for about a week in an older, early 2000’s PC originally with Windows XP, and, to contrast, I also used my current PC with 1-3 year old hardware.

Emmabuntus can be run from a Live CD/DVD if you so desire - which makes it an ideal way to test it. However, if you want to install it on your computer, then the process is fairly easy. The Emmabuntus installation is based on Debian installation. If you come from the Ubuntu world then the installation will feel a bit different but overall the process is fairly simple. I had a couple of problems during installation on the older computer, but it ran very smoothly on the newer one. On the new computer, I successfully installed the system in less than 25 minutes, while on the older one I had to try 3 times until I finally had a good running system, in under an hour. Detecting my hardware was a breeze in my newer PC, and good-to-fair with the older PC. | Emmabuntus can be run from a Live CD/DVD if you so desire - which makes it an ideal way to test it.

- | Here is where my testing with the older computer ends as I ran into a rather crucial problem and I didn’t feel like it was worth it that I continue the testing on the older computer. The problem was with the Wi-Fi - I couldn’t get it to connect no matter what I tried. I don’t think it was a problem with the hardware because I actually used 3 different Wireless cards at 3 different times and all of them showed similar results. The Wi-Fi cards were able to find my network, but then, after I would type in the password, they could never connect. After trying three different Wireless cards, I gave up and stopped the testing with that computer. With the newer computer, I never ran into that problem. On the contrary, everything from here on with the newer computer ran very smoothly and left me very impressed. My regular everyday use was extremely pleasant on my newer PC. Even the occasional system-wide updates were quick and easy. Side by side snapping of windows comes enabled by default. One thing that I didn’t realize I’d missed, because I hadn’t enjoyed it after it was taken out of Ubuntu, is the Screen-saver that comes standard with Emmabuntus. It was a nice nostalgic touch. You see, newer monitors no longer have a need for a screen saver; the newer monitors don’t need “saving” from a blank screen or from the same unchanging screen, that’s why they’ve been removed from most modern distros. | + | Here is where my testing with the older computer ends as I ran into a rather crucial problem and I didn’t feel like it was worth it that I continue the testing on the older computer.

This distribution comes pre-loaded with lots of software that I’ve used throughout the years but also with lots of software that I’d never used before. The version that I tested came with the Xfce desktop environment and was really easy to use. There is a pull-down menu from the top left, but it also comes with a dock-down at the bottom which can make the transition for a Mac OS X user very pleasant. Its default file manager is Thunar 1.6.11.

- | I was pleasantly surprised to find a few apps that I ordinarily don’t find on most default distributions. Apps such as VLC, Sound Juicer, KeePass X, a GUI USB-Image Writer & MultiSystem (for easy installation of multiple Operating Systems onto a single USB flash drive), Adobe Flash, and many, many more. Overall, I was really impressed with the selection of software out of the box. If you happen to need any extra software, then you’re in luck because it comes with Synaptic Package Manager and Gdebi, and you can even install games through a default installation of Play-On-Linux, | + | I was pleasantly surprised to find a few apps that I ordinarily don’t find on most default distributions.

+ | All in all, I would definitely recommend this operating system if you have a not-too-new computer, but it left me a little disappointed with a 15 year old computer. Because restoration of older machines is one of their claims, I need to deduct a whole star in my review of Emmabuntus. Other than this very crucial deal that I encountered connecting to the internet with an older PC, I really liked every other aspect of Emmabuntus and can see myself using it as my default go-to computer. | ||
