Lets begin with a note of thanks to the Snowlinux developers - each one of their distro I have tested and/or used, are very stable and give amazing performance. However, I never really liked the themes they use, if Crystal was bland, Glacier is blandest with everything - wallpaper to panel, in white. In Glacier series, the less you speak of the default wallpaper (the Push to Start one), it is better. It is really bad.
Anyway, my assessment involves more than aesthetics and delves deeper into the operating system's performance. Snowlinux 4 XFCE ISO is about 727 MB, quite smaller in size compared to average Linux ISOs these days. I used Asus K54C laptop with 2.2 Ghz Core i3 processor & 2 GB RAM. Though the machine is 64 bit but given limited RAM, I used the 32-bit ISO for installation and evaluation. My evaluation involved using it for 3 days for all purposes.
