It is a new linux distro with a new dimension.
Check out their site and if possible try the distro and post your views here.

Don't get it yet. They're switching to the Ubuntu platform and you cant upgrade from past versions, so :P

I was thinking to download it, but gave up!
I don't have time to experiment with this one.

I read about this linux in some magazine and they give it positive feedback

I was gonna download too because of XGL
I'll wait though

Gah...Linux.

I only like Linux for the server platforms. Tried Ubuntu before and never got on with it.

It's so limited to features...

You got to install Automatix on ubuntu to get full features.
I have automatix and it works great.

They're switching to Kubuntu which is the KDE version of Ubuntu. I prefer KDE so I might actually try this out!

KDE uses more RAM than GNOME.SO i use gnome.

I've always found it to be the opposite but its not the reason why I choose KDE.

I use KDE simply because I find it easier to use. Both environments are good though.
