Voyager 12.04 ,is a beautiful XFCE distro from France .Voyager
Live is an Xubuntu-based distribution and live DVD showcasing the Xfce desktop
environment. Xbuntu is a combination ubuntu and XFCE.Its features include the
Avant Window Navigator or AWN (a dock-like navigation bar), Conky (a program
which displays useful information on the desktop), and over 300 photographs to
customise the desktop.
Voyager 12.04 which
is based on Xubuntu 12.04 and is a LTS release. Voyager brings a wide variety
of customisations and beautifications to Xubuntu which makes the Xfce DE shine.
It also have a Conky Control that allows
you manage different 21 different Conky configurations from a single place. The
Avant Window Navigator has also been customised in a special way that makes it stand
out from other Distros. Voyager come pre-installed with a wide variety of
really good software and codecs which makes it the perfect Out Of The Box
distro with the exception of Flash but you can easily install it as I
mentioned. It also comes pack with many themes and wallpapers so you don't have
to sweat in looking for different things for customising your system.
Voyager comes with many inbuilt softwares .Graphics
applications include many state of the art softwares like
darktable,GIMP,gthumb,mcomix etc.Default internet browser is firefox , it also
have software like hotrot (twitter app), thunderbird mail,xchat etc. The multimedia
softwares include cheese clemtine, formatjunkie,minitube,vlc media player. Apart from the absence of
libre office it has many tools like abiword and FBnumeric etc.
Another
notable advantage of voyager is the fast boot time due to its light weight. The
ambience of the voyager is very similar to ubuntu. But it had
made many compromises which makes compatiable to windows users and new linux
users. Since Voyager is French developed distro ,there are few language
mismatches.
All over voyager
is a very good distro.It can be downloaded from its website.For a size of
around 1GB it is an affordable download as it come with many softwares and option
to download many more softwares.
