Siduction - The rolling Debian alternative

Afbeelding
Siduction - what you need to know Siduction was created in July 2011 from the former Aptosid Community. But before that there were already stations. From Knoppix to sidux to aptosid to Siduction. A mature roadmap one would think. What is the difference between Siduction and Debian? First, much of both distros are equivalent. The minor differences are that Siduction is a rolling Debian distro with graphical installer, Debian on the other hand does not offer Sid as a direct ISO output. To install Debian Sid you either have to install stable first and convert it to Sid via testing or you install Sid with the mini installer. If you are interested in these two options, please have a look at my two videos. Links in the description below. In short, if you want to have a rolling Debian system, Siduction is a much easier and faster way. Siduction also comes with its own kernel and scripts and offers support via forum and IRC. In case you are wondering how the name Siduction came about, the name

SolydXK you can't go wrong

Afbeelding
  Solyd made its debut in February 2013 as an unofficial variant of Linux Mint’s Debian edition with KDE as the default desktop. The main Linux Mint offering is based directly on Ubuntu, an offshoot of Debian Linux as well.   Arjen Balfoort, a key developer of two discontinued desktop options within the Linux Mint distro, developed the SolydXK distro to continue where the Linux Mint line left off with the dropped Debian branch desktop options. The result grew into a very suitable Linux operating system with two equally efficient desktop environments. Both choices give you a full range of controls over system performance.  Later in Solyd’s development, the community gave the KDE version its own identity as SolydK. The community added SolydX as an option after Linux Mint dropped its Debian-based flavor that used the Xfce desktop. The SolydXK headquarters is based in the Netherlands and runs on i686 and x86 64-bit architecture.  SolydXK uses a Debian (stable) core , which is a
