Hello Russell - 

TW>>> I read the origional Press release when it entered the
TW>>> market but never followed up on it. SO it may be as
TW>>> promising for the NON Nix types as they claim? 

CA>> No, not promising at all. From what I'm reading Ubuntu
CA>> installs easier due to a GUI installer but after that it's
CA>> claimed to be _more_ difficult to use and the
CA>> auto-installer of additional software (utilities?) often
CA>> requires manual reconfiguration afterwards and is even
CA>> said to 'hose' the machine at times. 

CA>> Didn't sound 'good' to me. :-( 

RT> Please forward those to me, as I have not seen similar here
RT> ...

One minor correction, they are _working_ on a GUI installer, it
has not been completed according to what I've just re-read.
