Reviews Section

I was wondering if it would be possible to get a sectino in the reviews to review things like GNOME and KDE? And also, perhaps, different linux Apps like XMMS and whatnot? Maybe there is a spot and I missed it, so if I did could yall direct me there?

I would say this might be something feasible in the future but some applications like these have new releases monthly, its not as big an issue as when a distro per se releases a new version. We would then have a review on each and every release when there might just be a simple bug fix or something like that, etc.

True true, but reviewing a product in general, AKA just the overview of what it is and does and how well it does its supposed job. Im not saying to review each little version of XMMS or whatnot, but more of a general view on the things to allow people who dont know about a app to get more info on it other than from the site where you download it, which is always a bit biased

I think this is where our Wiki comes into play and allows anything to be added to the db for the overview and technical aspects of each application, etc. http://wiki.linuxquestions.org

Hey. Thats pretty awesome

I didnt even know what the hell a wiki was!

Cor, this is better than a review page

We have no plans to add this feature now, but I will keep it in mind for a future enhancement. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hmm about the reviews page also.

How come you have forums for Arch, cAos, Vector, and college linux but no big review section for them? I mean, Knoppix has a section, but not cAos one?

EDIT: Oh yeh, and a lindows section. You have forums for them, why not review sections?

PLUS: I think it would be nicer to organize the Other section by alphabetical order, but that is just me

jeremy · 03-18-2004, 07:22 PM

I have been meaning to alpha sort for a while. After a distro gets three entries in the Other section a dedicated section will be created and the reviews moved.

The "Other" section will now alpha sort by distro. The other sections will sort based on the time of the entries.

Thanks man!

That was the first time I think anyone has actually listened to a suggestion I made!

Pauli · 03-18-2004, 08:12 PM

Oh yeah. BTW Arch linux DOES have three entries in the other section

jeremy · 03-18-2004, 09:10 PM

Right you are!

Awesome dude!

Someone actually cares about my ideas!

Pauli · 04-03-2004, 09:00 PM

Another update needed, Lindows has 3 in the other section

And I was thinking, would it be better to have a live cd section for distos?
