I installed it last week, and played with it for a few days. I give it a 7.5 on the papa scale. ;) It just seems thrown together, and not very polished around the edges yet. It took the better part of two hours to install Intel 825xx chipset drivers, ugh! I don’t understand why, every other Debian/Ubuntu distro hasn’t had an issue with them, always recognized and installed by default during the initial install.

Now, I’m playing with the “Pimp Daddy of Ubuntu Bling and Bloat”. Ultimate Edition 2.5. Weighs in at well over 9GB’s, installed. Haha, funny and fun. I’ve got DSL & Mint8 dual booting on a USB stick running a Tablet PC with no HD. LOL
