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.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

 Slint is a very interesting distribution as it adds extra functionality for blind people. The website is very useful and informative. It is slightly easier to use compared to Slackware. The installer is very intuitive and comes with a good choice of desktop environments, mate, lxqt... perhaps xfce in the future. It comes with a good set of tools for system and software management and is a ready to use distribution. I find the system to be very stable and with very up-to-date software. The only negative point has to do with the customization/look of the system because I find it a bit standard.
