Being into advocacy in my less sane (err, usual?) mood, I downloaded and
tried it.  The install is quite straightforward, but at the moment it's
a bit feature poor.  That is, it didn't get the AC97 Yamaha sound card
on an old Dell, and only has koffice and konqueror for a browser and
office suite. 

It's quite new, of course, but to be a possible desktop I think they
will need more polishing.  (I look at it as something to give a
newcomer.  If I'm going to spend the time for myself configuring, say,
flash, and various programs I want, I'll use the normal FreeBSD).

It seems to have promise for the audience at which I think it is aimed,
but just needs a bit more work.
