Its a nice distro, with some small niggles, my personal niggle was not being able to get it to recognize my internal network, it just could not see computers running windows never mind how often I tried this was on the Live CD apart from that what is needed is a good network scanner to detect other computers on the network. apart from that it has some menu oddities like the engage bar proper access to this with a drag and drop facility would be good. At this time I have just downloaded the new version desktop beta DR3 and so far its got more problems than answers. Its a real bust.
DL MM 22 is possibly the best out of the box setup for a new distro I've come across. This is just how tolerant it is, I ran it on a celeron 1.3Ghz with 384Mb ram no graphics card on-board video ram 8Mb an old Aztec sound card ..a ISA ! An Ethernet connection to broadband... The whole setup was seriously suspect we are talking bum of the range ifreind should be in a museum and it still worked right from the CD set up internet connections no problems except the home network.. but thats nothing really.. It still could run movies from HD on this machine something it cant do in windows. Browse the net do mail write a letter play a game..all in all pretty outstanding. Once its fully worked out and a few versions down the line I cant see this one staying a freebie for long.
One thing I will say about the makers they have put out a real frostyDL 3 Beta and thats a beta 2 when you get that far with the New Dreamlinux 3 and still get faults like Kernel panics I think its time they backtracked to Dreamlinux 2.2 MM Edition.
