Rolling Rhino Remix
A rolling Ubuntu release sounds so outrageous Mayank Sharma had to see for himself if it really delivers on its word and isn’t just a gimmick.
IN BRIEF
The distro looks like just another Ubuntu clone, with little visual customisations. However, the real difference exists under the covers. Although it starts off as a regular Ubuntu release, a couple of post-installation tasks transform it into a rolling release distro that fetches packages from the Ubuntu development branch.

The premise of Rolling Rhino Remix is simple. Replace Ubuntu’s stable release repositories with its development branch, and you’ve got a sort of a bleeding-edge rolling release distro. Executing the idea into a stable distro however, takes some doing.
