A simple FYI
Posted: 27 Oct 2015, 16:39
Friends,
Other than Porteus on a USB stick, "always in my pocket", I use Lubuntu on a desktop.
Last Thursday, 10-22-2015, Ubuntu released the 15.10 version of Ubuntu, and of course all the other Ubuntu family followed. I downloaded 4 of them via torrent files, and have let them upload continually for 5 days, thus establishing my own private "desktop" poll. I share it here with my Porteus friends because "You are the Best"!
By "torrent ratio":
Lubuntu 15.10 (LXDE), ratio = 1.0
Ubuntu 15.10 (Unity), ratio = 1.0*
Ubuntu-Mate 15.10 (Mate), ratio = 1.4
Xubuntu 15.10 (Xfce), ratio = 0.9
Please, I apologize for not including Kubuntu (KDE)**, maybe next time. As far as I'm concerned, we are Porteus.
The uploading continues, and the ratio's may change, probably will.
* Ubuntu (Unity) was the only distro I DL'd the 64 bit version of, figuring it to be the most modern of the Ubuntu family of distro's. The other 3 were of the 32 bit version.
** Kubuntu (KDE) was not DL'd for the same reason as Ubuntu (Unity). I have only 8+ year old computers, and felt no need to frustrate myself with an OS/applications that would not work for me.
