Hi there Last week, I came across the Pear Linux distribution, an Ubuntu remix, which is visually quite appealing: http://pearlinux.fr/ The last couple of days, I've unsuccessfully tried to run the live CD on: - virtualbox - old Dell Vostro dual-core laptop - Lenovo x100e The SysLinux prompt ("boot:") shows up and when continuing, the CPU seems to go nuts and nothing happens anymore. Just wondering whether anybody else had any luck installing it...

Not sure when you downloaded your ISO, but: " Pear Linux 6.1 is available again ! Written by admin on ====================> 17 January 2013. <========== Posted in Blog, Pear Linux 6, Update Pear Linux 6.1 (Revision 2) is again available for download. Several bugs have been fixed including the launch of livcd and installer. You can download the iso files here : " "Last week" would be the 15th-ish, so is it possible you missed the bugfix update by a day or two? HTH. Elroy. BTW: I love the Pear Linux logo! :-) Peter Reutemann wrote:

Did a fresh download today, with -R2 suffix. Hence I thought I was safe there...

Yeah, me too. :-) Cheers, Peter -- Peter Reutemann, Dept. of Computer Science, University of Waikato, NZ http://www.cms.waikato.ac.nz/~fracpete/ Ph. +64 (7) 858-5174
Currently downloading now to see if it works for me - they might need to work on their mirrors - currently downloading at 40-60KB/s, 3-4 Hours left. Elroy. Peter Reutemann wrote:

I downloaded sunday 6.1 of pearlinux
would run on my macbook pro nicely not on my thinkpad centrino t42
Hmmm... Maybe it is a replacement for OSX and requires Apple hardware? The logo could be kind of a hint... :-) Cheers, Peter -- Peter Reutemann, Dept. of Computer Science, University of Waikato, NZ http://www.cms.waikato.ac.nz/~fracpete/ Ph. +64 (7) 858-5174

I'm guessing you are using amd64 download? I'll give my i386 a go tonight if I get time, see if it works OK. Elroy. Peter Reutemann wrote:

Actually, I tried both. Same result: Not further than SysLinux prompt and then high CPU usage.

Just tried it: Core 2 Duo 1.86GHz/4GB/boot from DVD - boots up fine, internet access, youtube, all good. Celeron 2.6GHz/2.5GB/boot from DVD - exact result as above. Looks nice, but not a Gnome guy. HTH. Elroy. Peter Reutemann wrote:
