You will notice two screenshots now uploaded in the gallery. These are from an i810 chipset based installation done quite some time ago. I've been tinkering with this OS for several months, trying to get a feel for it. My opinion is rather vague at the moment. Bird has been rather nebulous on her opinions too. EMH is happily playing with Xandros and hasn't shown any interest in LindowsOS.
While a full review is going to be required, it isn't going to be fun to write. I am very biased and had hoped Bird would provide a good insight into a new user's perspective. While she is good with RPM based systems, apt-get is rather new to her. As a concept, Click-N-Run doesn't seem to bother her.
I noticed, though, that TuxRacer Deluxe does not work on this system whereas Quake II runs fine. Bird would only be interested in TuxRacer and not Quake II. The lack of Frozen Bubble would also explain her lack of attention to this desktop. But that rarely means anything more than an 11 year old wanting to do other things.
I did find it odd that a message came across the screen asking if I wanted to upgrade to Netscape 7.01. I accepted and was simply taken to the download page on Netscape's site. I had expected to be taken to CNR. That seemed odd to me.
Enough for now - it's late - and I'm tired.
