  • Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.

 I cannot finish the install process. I got stuck in it. However, I have ever experienced the distribution. It impressed me a lot.
So let me tell the issue. I used dd to burn the image on my debian linux, rebooting the computer to get into the BIOS setup, finally entering the install procedures. I set my locale, typing my password, consequently finding myself stuck. The monitor just turn black. And I was powerless. As a result, I gave up installing it on my PC.
Nevertheless, I used to be a user of the distribution. When I was tired of a distro, I will jump between distinct distributions. So I jumped, and no longer came back.
To be frank, it's a really great disto for Chinese. I think you should try it.
