Has anyone ever heard of these distros and if yes what's your take on them?

Rosa
Korora
Netrunner

Thanks

I've never heard of any of those distro's but distrowatch.com gives some nice information about all three.
That's normally my goto when I want some quick facts about a distro.

ROSA started out as Russian version of Red Hat. I think they're trying to expand from that, but haven't looked at it in quite some time.

Korora -> Fedora is the same as Kubuntu -> Ubuntu

Never really looked at Netrunner.

Thanks to both of you for the feedback. I think I'll just run Mint & Ubuntu on the same machine. I've already deleted Windows 7 so I should have enough space to run them both side by side. I'm running Lubuntu now but want to install both. I have a 250 GB hard drive with Lubuntu only taking up only 80 GB of the whole hard drive.

Korora = Fedora + media codecs + lots of commonly used applications

Rosa = I believe this is a enterprise oriented distro like Centos and Scientific Linux.

I tried ROSA LTS LXDE. Quite nice, but the repositories were too small for my needs. It is Mandriva fork, not Red Hat.

Netrunner is just another take on Kubuntu/Mint KDE, with different applications preinstalled and such. If you like these, you could like this also.

Korora is, as was said, Fedora with bonuses.

No need to, actually you were right guys. ROSA Enterprise Linux Server "is based on a combination of a package base RedHat, the world leader in the server OS market, modern open open technologies from upstream and brand-name ROSA tools and applications.", as is written on their webpage. ROSA Desktop should be based on Mandriva though.

We have a reviews section on this site. For what its worth, I gave 1/10 to Rosa, 3/10 to Netrunner, and 7/10 to Korora.

I apologize, I should have done a better search.
