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

I like Mangaka-Chu Linux - It’s based on 9.10, looks like Windows (down to the START button) and has all of the multimedia stuff included in the install. It does have a bug where it doesn’t give you administrative rights when you install it with the option to boot without a password. Other than that, it works nicely.
