Anything but easy to install or update.
I like the layout and apps but ...
- It will not install on my Lenovo laptop. It just reinstalls on the installation media.
- It does not recognize the wifi on my HP laptop.
- So far has been a pretty frustrating experience. Their website is no help at all. Have to register (understandable) but get a blank page.
- Updates on the hp are hit or miss. Usually says cannot download updates and I should check my internet connection. The very same wired connection I'm using right now which is VERY reliable.
Version listed on system is 6.6

Booted 7.1 from hard drive live.

Took very long to boot.

Caja failed to work.

Lots of software. Maybe too much on a KDE DE.

This distribution (7.1) ran fine from the flash drive. Seemed to install fine, but would not boot from my hard drive. I really liked it and so I was very disappointed when it would not work with my computer.
