Nice but still some problems with it

I gave it a spin in a VM and it's a nice quint XP style interface. The problems I found were that the package manager wouldn't use the proxy settings through a NAT network, not without some serious faffing about under the hood which no noob is going to do. The installer to move the Live CD to HD wouldn't run at all, again bang goes the simplicity. On the whole I like it but I think it needs a lot more testing, "Never underestimate the ingenuity of a non-techie.", they will find the most bizarre ways to break your apps imaginable!

Sadly the biggest crime in this distro is that user passwords cannot contain non-alpha characters! Whoa! Bad move, very, very bad move indeed, noobs should never be allowed to get away with bad habits like that!
