It's definitely one of the prettiest distros out there. Probably the best live cd you can give someone. I haven't tried the released version, but did give out many TR3's. I like it because it's batteries are included (with no apologies to the evil DMCA).

I downloaded it yesterday morning, and I must say I'm impressed! I've used every flavor of PClinuxOS since Texstar broke away from Mandrake and before that I ran his RPMs to keep my Mandrake installation fresh in between releases. This is far and away the most beautiful, easy to use and tightly integrated "live" distro I've ever seen or used.

All of my hardware on my i9300 was detected and set-up. And even though he no longer includes the proprietary Nvidia drivers on the disc, the default "X" server drivers properly detected my 7800GTX and correctly set-up my screen to 1900x1200 and used the correct font size to make things clearly readable at that resolution. (I only wish that XP could do the same.)

Two thumbs-up to Texstar and his gang; they've really outdone themselves this time.

Ciao
