    Sorry, but screenshots are not what this is about. Let's talk about features baby, I want substance!

    There's a lot more to an OS than the damn window manager!

    I'm overwhelmed by the DVD size download

    Well, don't download the DVD in the first place. Download the three CDs with the .torrent file that's provided.

    There are no dark corners of breakage, everything Just Works(TM).

    Whenever someone says this about a distro, it is apparent to me that they have nice shiney happy friendly hardware. So many times I have taken a friend at face value when they've told me about the sweet time they're having with some new random distro (Ubuntu, most recently) and so I go off and spend an hour installing it... and then a weekend fucking around with rescue disks trying to recover some semblance of functionality out of my Laptop From Hell.

    Try saying this instead: It worked for me, but your mileage may vary.

    Cheers,
