First impressions of Semplice Linux 5
================================================================================
[Semplice][1] Linux is a distribution based on the Debian GNU/Linux project. Specifically, Semplice is built using software from Debian's Unstable branch. The Semplice developers use the software packages in the Unstable repository and combine them with a custom graphical installer. The [project's website][2] also mentions that the distribution comes with support for encrypted LVM volumes and that Semplice is focused on being fast, light on resources, "rock solid" and elegant. This is accomplished by combining the Unstable Debian base with the Openbox window manager. The distribution is available in both 32-bit and 64-bit builds and the ISO provided on the website weighs in at approximately 620 MB.
Booting from the distribution's live media brings up a graphical interface with a single window. This window contains three tabs which invite us to select our keyboard's layout, our preferred language and our time zone. Once we confirm these settings are correct the window disappears and we are shown an Openbox interface. The background is bright blue. At the bottom of the display we find a task switcher and system tray. Right-clicking on the background brings up the distribution's application menu. One of the top-level items in the menu is an entry for the distribution's system installer.

Semplice Linux 5 - visiting the project's website
(full image size: 398kB, screen resolution 1280x960 pixels)
Semplice's system installer is a graphical application. The program presents a friendly interface and walks us through the usual steps. We are asked to confirm our preferred language, our keyboard's layout and the local time zone. We are asked if we would like to check for updates to the system installer in the distribution's repositories. I did perform this check and the installer did find an updated version of itself on-line. I downloaded this update and the installer restarted itself to perform the upgrade. We are asked to create a user account for ourselves and, optionally, we can enable the root account. By default Semplice sets up the first user account with sudo administrative access and disables the root account. However, we have the option of enabling the root account and setting a password to protect it. When we get to the disk partitioning screens we have the option of a guided path where the installer will try to divide our hard disk for us. Alternatively we can manually partition the local disk.
I found manual partitioning was a little awkward, mostly due to the screen's layout. I also found that when I tried to create LVM volumes the installer wouldn't allow it. There is a dialogue which asks us to name our new volume and that screen's "OK" button was disabled, preventing me from proceeding. There are traditional file system options available too, including ext2/3/4 and ReiserFS. Once the disk has been partitioned we are asked if we would like to install the GRUB boot loader. With this done the final step we are presented with is enabling/disabling certain features and services. Semplice's installer allows us to decide at install time whether we need Bluetooth support, printing software, productivity software, visual desktop effects, web apps and proprietary packages. Once we check off which items we do (or do not) want the installer copies its files to the local disk. This only takes a few minutes and, when the process has completed, we are prompted to reboot the computer.
The Semplice Linux distribution comes with a good deal of useful software. Right out of the box we are given the Chromium web browser, the Claws Mail e-mail client, the XChat IRC software and the Pidgin instant messaging software. The gFTP file transfer client is installed for us along with the uGet download manager, a document viewer and the GNU Paint drawing program. The AbiWord word processor and the Gnumeric spreadsheet applications are available in the menu too. I found MPlayer on the system as well as the xfburn disc burner and the Exaile audio player. There was a copy of Tetris in the Games sub-menu and I found a text editor, calculator, image viewer, file manager and archive manager present.
There were a handful of configuration utilities in the application menu allowing us to easily work with network settings, system services and user accounts. There were also apps for managing the appearance of the Openbox window manager. Among the applications were web app entries which opened a minimal web browser to the Twitter and Facebook websites. There is also a link to the Semplice project website. Digging deeper I found Semplice comes with a full range of multimedia codecs and Adobe's Flash plugin. With the default installation the system runs a secure shell service. I also found the GNU Compiler Collection was available. In the background the Linux kernel, version 3.10, kept things running.

Semplice Linux 5 - running various desktop applications
(full image size: 241kB, screen resolution 1280x960 pixels)
I ran into a few minor issues while I was working with Semplice. For example, when running the "top" process monitor in a virtual terminal the system statistics were missing from the top of the screen. With a little exploring I found the virtual terminal's colours were set up in a way which made the text invisible. Changing to a different colour scheme worked for a short time, but the next time I opened a terminal the colours had reverted back to their defaults. My settings were always lost when the terminal was closed. Another instance where settings were not respected showed up post-install. While I was setting up Semplice the installer asked which services I wanted to enable. These included Bluetooth, printing support, web apps and a few other items.
I told the installer to skip Bluetooth support and not to install printing software. However, once Semplice had been installed I went into the services manager application and found both Bluetooth and printing services were installed and enabled. A third curious problem came up when I tried to connect to the distribution's secure shell service. Any attempt to connect via secure shell resulted in the connection being reset and dropped. I soon found this problem came from the distribution not generating host keys for OpenSSH to use. Once these keys were manually generated I was able to make use of the secure shell server.
Software packages are handled by the Synaptic graphical package manager. Synaptic fills in as the distribution's software updating application and general purpose package manager. The venerable application may not have the eye candy offered by more modern package managers, but Synaptic is quite capable. It allows us to create batches of actions to perform and the program works quickly, offering us detailed information while it is working. The distribution pulls packages from a few different software repositories. Semplice, by default, pulls software from Debian's Unstable repositories as well as some custom Semplice repositories. When I first installed the distribution there were 137 updates waiting for me, weighing in at approximately 135MB in size. By the end of the week I had installed over 200 updates totaling around 200MB in size. Semplice, being based on Debian's Unstable branch, is effectively a rolling release distribution and will typically receive a rapid stream of cutting-edge packages.

Semplice Linux 5 - managing packages and services
(full image size: 299kB, screen resolution 1280x960 pixels)
I tried running Semplice Linux on my desktop machine (dual-core 2.8 GHz CPU, 6 GB of RAM, Radeon video card, Realtek network card) and in a virtual machine powered by VirtualBox. Despite several attempts using different kernel parameters I was unable to get Semplice to boot on my physical computer. On the other hand, Semplice ran well in the virtual environment. While running in VirtualBox I found the distribution booted quickly, was responsive and was (for the duration of my trial) stable. The distribution was fairly light on memory, using approximately 130 MB of RAM.
My time with Semplice was, in a word, okay. I realize that's not a ringing endorsement, nor is it meant to be dismissive. Semplice, overall, performed well, it comes with a lot of good software and I think its system installer is nicer than Debian's, at least for desktop systems. The administrative tools Semplice comes with are helpful and, with access to Debian's repositories, the distribution gives us a huge pool of software packages from which to draw. The project stays fairly close to the cutting edge and users will need to be mindful of that if they wish to avoid downtime following package upgrades, but at the same time it gives us a chance to experiment. On the flip side, there were a few problems I ran into. The installer didn't appear to respect my choice of system services and I wasn't able to make use of encrypted LVM volumes.
There were other little problems like the virtual terminal not remembering my settings. Plus, I couldn't help shake the feeling that Semplice, with its fairly user-friendly style, might have been better off using LXDE instead of plain Openbox for the graphical interface. Not that I have anything against Openbox, but LXDE provides a nice, familiar interface for new users and would probably make more people feel at home while carrying approximately the same resource footprint. Another issue was Semplice didn't run on my physical hardware. I try not to hold this against distributions as what works for me may not work for others and, for that matter, what works for other people doesn't always run for me. Still, other Debian-derived projects, such as Ubuntu and Linux Mint Debian Edition, typically run smoothly on this hardware so I was surprised to find Semplice did not. One final issue was the way the OpenSSH service was running, but no host key was provided, causing secure shell connections to drop. It was a minor thing to create new host keys, but it would have been nice to have secure shell working right from the start.
In short, my first impression of Semplice is the distribution looks nice, makes a few improvements over plain Debian (at least for desktop/laptop users) and comes with a good selection of default software. However, it does have some rough edges. Perhaps nothing serious, nothing that would scare away an intermediate Linux user, but there were a few problems which I hope will get smoothed out in future releases.

爱的初体验 —— Semplice Linux 5
================================================================================
[Semplice][1] 是一个基于Debian GNU/Linux项目的Linux发行版基于Debian不稳定分支构建。开发者使用不稳定仓库中的软件包并通过一个自定义图形界面安装程序将这些软件包加以整合。[项目官网][2]介绍说该Semplice不但支持加密LVM卷而且整合了Openbox窗口管理器并始终专注于更加快速、轻便的资源“简约不简单”。该发行版目前支持32位、64位ISO镜像下载体积大概620MB左右。
从LiveCD启动后可以看到一个图形界面窗口它包括3个标签页分别用来设置键盘布局、系统语言和所在时区。确认上述设置正确无误后关闭窗口就可以看到Openbox界面那明亮的蓝色背景了。在显示器底部我们发现了一个任务切换界面和一个系统托盘。点击鼠标右键可以呼出程序菜单菜单顶部其中一项就是系统安装程序的入口。

Semplice Linux 5 —— 访问项目官网截图大小398KB分辨率1280x960
Semplice的系统安装程序同样为图形化界面。程序界面友好引导步骤也比较清晰。首先程序会请求我们确认刚才设置的语言、键盘和时区然后会询问是否要检测安装程序有无更新我很负责任的选择了“是”它竟然真的联网找到了自己的新版本于是我又下载更新安装程序自动重启执行更新……作者你是话唠吗接下来程序要求我们创建一个用户账户同时提供了是否激活root账户的选项。Semplice默认是将第一个用户账户作为sudo管理员同时禁用root账户的。尽管如此我们仍然可以激活root账户再给它设置一个密码。然后来到磁盘分区界面程序自动帮我们完成了一套分区建议当然你也可以选择自己手动分区。
这里我发现手动分区会有点尴尬主要是由于屏幕的布局。另外我还发现当我尝试建立LVM卷的时候程序却并不允许一个对话框会让我输入卷的名称但是它的“OK”按钮却无法点击着实让人纳闷。文件系统还是传统的几个ext2/3/4和ReiserFS分区之后它会询问是否要安装GRUB以上步骤都完成后最后一步需要我们选择是否开启一些功能与服务然后就开始正式安装了。安装的同时安装程序会询问我们是否需要一些额外的工具例如蓝牙支持、打印机、生产套件、桌面特效、Web应用以及专有软件包如果你选择需要程序就会自动将它们拷贝至本地磁盘。整个安装过程只需要几分钟安装完毕后需要重启电脑。
除了基本所需的文本编辑器、计算器、图像浏览、文件管理与档案管理外Semplice Linux发行版还预装了很多有用的软件例如Chromium浏览器、Claws Mail邮件客户端、XChat IRC以及Pidgin等聊天软件。另外下载软件有gFTP和uGet文档处理有GNU Paint、AbiWord、Gnumeric娱乐播放有MPlayer、Exaile刻录工具有xfburn游戏子菜单下还有一个Tetris的副本拷贝。
程序菜单中还有许多有用的配置工具通过这些工具用户可以对网络设置、系统服务、用户账户等进行轻松配置。同时系统还提供了程序对Openbox窗口管理器进行管理。在Web应用部分用户可以以最简方式打开一个web浏览器用来访问Twitter和Facebook。系统还提供了前往Semplice项目官网的快捷方式。通过深度挖掘我发现Semplice具有一整套完备的多媒体编码解码器和Adobe Flash插件。系统默认采用的是安全shell服务(OpenSSH)。我还发现系统预装了GNU编译工具集。而在内核方面Semplice采用3.10版本,能够保证以上各个工具软件正常运行。

Semplice Linux 5 —— 运行各种桌面程序截图大小241KB分辨率1280x960
使用Semplice工作的过程中我也遇到了一些小问题。比如当我在虚拟终端运行“top”进程监视器的时候窗口顶端的系统统计信息会无故消失稍微折腾了一番我发现原来是因为虚拟终端的颜色配置导致了文字不可见。但是当我修改主体颜色一段时间以后下一次我再打开一个终端主题颜色又回到了以前的默认值。如此反复每次关闭终端后我的设置总会丢失。丢失设置的另一个表现是之前安装过程中配置好的一些服务也失效了包括蓝牙、打印机支持、Web应用和其他一些项目。
当时我告诉安装程序不要安装蓝牙和打印软件但是后来我在服务管理器里还是看到了它俩在活蹦乱跳地运行着。第三个奇怪的问题是当我尝试连接安全shell服务的时候总是被告知连接丢失被重置很快我发现问题原因是由于系统根本就木有生成OpenSSH所需的主机密钥。当我手动生成这些密钥后就可以使用安全Shell服务了。
新立德Synaptic作为通用软件包管理器负责Semplice发行版软件包的管理与更新。通常功能强大的软件包管理器难以兼顾漂亮的外观但新立德做到了。它允许用户创建一系列行为动作并且执行迅速执行的同时还能显示详细的细节信息。Linux发行版一般会从一些不同的软件仓库获取软件Semplice默认是从Debian的不稳定分支仓库以及其他一些Semplice的自定义仓库中获取。当我初次安装好Semplice的时候就有137个更新等着我下载安装体积总共达到了135MB。一周下来我总共安装了超过200个更新体积超过200MB。Semplice不愧是基于Debian的不稳定分支不但更新速度超快而且采用的都是快速更新的前沿软件包。

Semplice Linux 5 —— 管理软件包与服务截图大小299KB分辨率1280x960
我尝试在我的台式机上运行Semplice LinuxCPU双核2.8GHz内存6GRadeon显卡Realtek网卡然而不管我如何修改内核参数都无法在实体机上运行但是在VirtualBox虚拟机上却运行的很好。在VirtualBox里Semplice启动快速反应灵敏而且整个测试过程都非常稳定。Semplice所需的配置内存相当低只需要130MB。
整个Semplice体验过程一个词概括还行Okay。这既不是认可也不是否定。总体上讲Semplice表现还是不错的它提供了很多优秀的软件而且我认为它的安装程序比Debian的要漂亮至少在桌面系统上如此。Semplice的管理员工具很实用除此以外通过访问Debian的软件仓库它还提供了海量软件包供普通用户选用。该发行版紧跟前沿不喜欢总是下载更新的用户可能会比较介意但是同时这也意味着它为我们提供了不断尝试新鲜事物的机会。以上是好的方面。不好的方面在我测试的过程中也出现了一些问题例如安装程序并未采纳我对系统服务的一些配置我也无法使用加密LVM卷。
还有其他一些小问题像虚拟终端丢失设置等等。另外我始终禁不住会想Semplice为何不用LXDE代替Openbox作为图形接口呢我并不是对Openbox有什么偏见但LXDE可以提供更美观、常见的图形接口特别是对于新手用户就好像在家里面对自己熟悉的环境一样。另一个问题是Semplice无法在我的实体机上运行也许我的情况是个案反过来可能别人运行不了的系统我的电脑却可以运行我也并不想以此对Semplice吹毛求疵但是其他Debian类的系统例如Ubuntu和Debian版的Mint都可以在我的机子上流畅运行因此当发现Semplice运行不了时候我当时还是有些惊讶的。最后一个问题OpenSSH运行时没有自动生成主机密钥导致安全Shell连接丢失虽说手动生成新的主机密钥只是小事一桩但如果它启动的时候就能自动完成这些工作岂不是更好。
总结一下对于Semplice我“爱的初体验”看起来还是比较美好的它为简约Debian做出了不少改进至少对于台式机/笔记本用户默认所选择的软件也都不错。尽管如此它还是有一些毛边儿略显粗糙。也许这不算什么因为没有什么能吓住我们Linux系统测试员但我还是衷心希望不久的将来Semplice的新版本能改善上面那些问题。
