Review leaves a bit to be desired
by Richard Tough on Fri 2nd Jan 2004 00:23 UTC

Not to knock the review, but I feel you should have elaborated a bit on what applications were included if you felt important ones were missed out, and package management is a major thing in any distro so it should have been brought up.

The default theme, in my humble, humble opinion needs to be changed, the look of something very much impacts whether people will enjoy using it or not. The reviewer expressed this, but not in the best way.

But still, it was supposed to be a short review, and if nothing else I guess it'll help bring a bit more awareness to CL. (Ok, I haven't actually used it, my distro of choice is slack, but I may have to keep an eye on this one).
