    Anyone heard of this yet? Its another derivative of Ubuntu, but this time from China.

    I really like the look of it. I love transparency, might have to try it out. The one thing about it that everyone is banging on about is it's software centre which really is a lot nicer than ubuntu's one. Which I believe may become available for regular Ubuntu users to install instead.

    It has been converted to English but there still is a lot of Chinese on it. It doesn't seem to get in the way though.

    Anyway thought people here might be interested. :)

    I was going to post a sarcastic "Wahey another flavour of Ubuntu", but to be honest, thats one of the great things about Ubuntu, Debian and Linux in general. Anyone can take a distro, and make it their own. If no-one had done that then we would have one distribution galled GNU/Linux, I'd probably be stuck using GNOME because there is no alternative, and I definitely would not be working where I am now.

    So well done to the creators of Deepin Linux. Variety is the spice of life.

    The software centre can now be run in Ubuntu 11.10

    Looks very interesting. Must try it out, althought i do still prefer synaptic package manager :P
