As for useability, because it comes with very little except essentials, you have to install whatever you require. I like it better than Ubuntu or Mint or Peppermint so far. Thank goodness it doesn't have all the crappy eye-candy like Ubuntu (Vista, Win7 - yuk, I only use Windows Classic as in Win2K). Mint is tolerable.	zqwerty (97)
