[dba-Tech] Deepin Linux

Hi Gustav:

Variety is the spice of life and these distros are not a stand-alone OSS but more likef a pretty desktop on top of Linux-Debian/Slackware/Fedora and so on. This of course allows anyone with more time than they know what to do with, to crank out their desktops and customize their own working environment to the nth degree and then post it and see if there are other that agree.

I personally wish Windows was like that so there would be dozens of desktops for every situation and platform... and easy to exchange if so desired. Microsoft's virtual bare-bones command-prompt server is starting to attract this type of attention and we may have a number of distro to choose from, in the future.

There are a number of distros built on top of Debian; Ubuntu, Mint, Xubuntu, CrunchBang... I doubt any one could remember them all but there are supposed to be somewhere around 50 plus such products, if you count the variants and deviations and obviously there are more all the time. 

I had never looked at a list of distributions before but number and variation is amazing:
