To be honest, the fact that they still have a concept of "installation" kind of turns me off. It's not terribly hard to create self-contained applications; hell, OS X has it, as does Rox, although I suspect they somewhat hack around the configuration file issue by still using configuration files in $HOME.

I have been running it for two days now and so far it has been rock solid. I have installed the Nvidia drivers, the flash player, Xmms, K3B, and the Codecs Package. Everything worked perfect. In my humble opinion the pbi package manager is just about the best package installer I have run across in any O/S.
I am very impressed and may just switch from Slackware as my primary o/s.
