It would be nothing less than irresponsible to encourage you to drop FC2 and
potentially "The Planet" to try this out just yet. In alpha ratings...this
distro for audio is like...{what comes before the dawn of time...hmmm} not
even up to pre-alpha testing yet. I have sent a message to the head
developer and await his response / enthusiasm / support on the whole thing.
Now the distro is pretty solid in terms of it's operation. It's only 1 iso
download which is nice. The main desktop is KDE and currently they have TWM,
FVWM and Xfce, although I have not been able to get Xfce working. Gnome is
there but has to be added and my attemps at apt-get for it have been no good.
It does not seem to install properly. This thing has been tuned for KDE 3.3
and it is snappy.
Albeit I might be a bit premature in announcing this as a potential distro, I
just mostly want to get a quick poll from who might show support so I can
report that fact back to the Yoper gurus.
