This (quite long) article has been written by me for two primary reasons: One, to hopefully save someone else the time and hassle associated with trying out various Linux distributions, and two, to promote some discussion and feedback regarding what a modern Linux distribution should be, and of course to contrast this with what is currently available. I am exploring the offerings of MS Windows, BeOS and MacOSX, and then taking on a number of well-known Linux distributions.
When and if it will get installed properly (I am still waiting for a newer ISO build that fixes bugs in the PCMCIA code, while eCS 1.0 was working fine on that machine before), yes, it is on our plans to write a review.
