  1. Sorry, Not Ready For Primetime Yet! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 4

    As a beta tester for both Beta 01 & 02 I'm disappointed that they are planning to release their distro so soon. They have some good ideas but there are still a lot of problems that need to be worked out, IMHO. File manager issues, hardware recognition, etc... It's just not as mature a distro as RedHat/Mandrake (for example) and lacks the 'user friendly' readiness Corel has been hyping. I wish they had taken a little more time and beat on it some more b4 releasing it officially. Looks to me as though economic pressures pushed this one out too soon. Too bad.
