I remember when this distro was rather new. While it was functional and great, it was hideous and unusable in part due to the desktop environment that it used. It's kind of nice to see that free software has come so far in such a short time where even specialty distros look respectable.

(Disclaimer: I do use and love free software, and I don't mean to sound like a jerk.)
