If one is fed up of Suse and Mandriva (I am fed up with both of them, both while being heavy and make a point to omit good utility packages that are in the commercial versions) this one is for you.
It has shed some of its weight from 3.5 GB to 1.7 and the slimmer versions provides what Suse and Mandriva keep as commercial packages.
It has XBOX (Multimedia) for which I give 250 points and it's score is over 1500 (out of 3000 odd points which I give for a all inclusive heavy distributions).
Sabayon (Slakware) and Monomax (Ubuntu) are almost similar but I prefer Sabayon for its comparatively light weight strategy.
If they added blender I would have given extra bonus points!
It lives with it's promise the dream we believe on!
However, it should promote the Live CD much more vigorously than the heavy DVD version.
If a distribution cannot put its act together with 1.5 GB it is not worth the downloading time in this part of the world (Sri-Lanka).
Our downloading is pretty slow and servers hand up in the night!
Guys switch off the Server (Our Telecom) and go to sleep and that is the time unfortunately I download the Linux distributions for testing.
