I've somehow missed this version. Once a potential user gets past the initial creating a installer disc anyone should be able to install this version of Linux. The installer is really simple.

The distro is very well organized and its layout choices are quite logical. By that I mean they are not trying to impress the user with pointless flashiness. Its all down to business and no confusing useless features. Some distros go overboard with that kind of thing which makes the desktop cluttered and confusing.

What should be pointed out to any lurking Windows user here is that the system featured in the first video is running on 4 gbs of memory. Recent versions of Windows would not be as snappy as the system in the video is on 4 gbs of memory. In fact its a royal pain in the ass to run recent versions of Windows on this minimal amount of memory. Advantage Linux.

The one thing I miss with this distros installer, and almost all others distros except MXLinux, is the basic setup of Samba during installation. We would have to go all the way back to Xandros in the late 1990's and early 2000's to find that being done properly. Having that feature goes a long way towards setting up a home network for users still keeping their home network in a Windows compatible environment. As far as I know MXLinux is the only distro currently doing that.

A very nice distro that I will have to download and try out. Thanks for posting the vids.
