I usually like to read an osnews review, I find them in depth, informative and insightfull. This one flys in the face of all I have come to expect of osnews. This revies tells me next to nothing technical, Even less of how well it worked, or didn't. I have to wonder why Linux is compared to WinXP and Macos and not other desktop linux's which would have been more helpfull. The main featue of the release - (from its release notes on distrowatch) were apache mysql and php, and the update robot, yet neither feature was reveiwed. A quick check of the user forums would have revealed that bugs, like FSTAB esisted and fixes are available and posted, Did he look for support ?? Does support matter
Sorry. but a below expect standard for this review sorry
For the record, I did a personal review here.
