im actually fiddling with it now. so far i have seen nothing missing at all, |
| 2 |
and it has included not just x but a number of applications. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
It is very much a full linux installation with office and internet basics all |
| 5 |
running. much like gentoo deciding to show up knoppix for their install cd. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
i think this is a great ide agiving you a full workstation that you can deal |
| 8 |
with even if it doesnt have "EVERYTHNING" you even need. it has enough to keep |
| 9 |
you functional. while you build your main system or rebuild your main system. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
very nicely done devteam very nice. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
although a little bit of prettyness would be on the oputput tab to add some |
| 14 |
scrollbars. took me a few min to realis i could just click in the box and roam |
| 15 |
about with my keyboard to watch what its doing. |
