Happens quite often (with me) that software doesn't launch, doesn't operate properly, or you can't even close it. Really flaky in that regard. I didn't see any option to download updates for the OS or the software installed (such as with Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu), so I'm a curious how that is handled. Mind you, even without any security updates or patches, Linux will still be a gazillion times more secure than anything Microcrap can produce :). All in all, I would say this is an excellent effort by a small group of people. It's just not quite "there" yet - not as mature as other distros. In time I think it will be one of the best out there. It's the fastest booting (from CD) distro, at this level of development, that I've encountered. I would certainly suggest that people with older systems, such as the ones suggested here by other posters (200mhz or 233mhz cpus for instance) consider this distro. You don't have to toss that old system away if it still runs well. A lot of schools could benefit from Dreamlinux, because they usually have older computers that won't even run Windoze 2000 or XP properly. Usually all they need their computers for is to teach students how to use a word processor and a spreadsheet app. Maybe even surf the Internet to do research. They also don't have to worry about students loading viruses into the system or messing it up by trying to install videos games designed for Windoze.
