I have tried Dream linux beta 3 some time back and I believe it's ok for the majority of casual users. I don't have any problem with the look and I don't think a lot of people will. For me functionality is of prime importance. One thing for sure it beats ubuntu hands down in speed. I have tried it on an old amd k5 533 mhz, around 300 Mb ram, and you can tell the difference right away. Ubuntu is bloated for their needs.
I don't understand why for surfing the internet and doing a few emails and some casual use of word processing (represented by the majority of users in the world), someone is forced to buy the latest quad core hardware with all the bling bling.!! to go down the street to the convenience store, you don't need a n airplane, you could just walk or use your bike... get my point ?
going forward we should start judging any distro, by how much they can do with or cram into, the minimum hardware . It's such a wasteful philosophy whereby consumers are being squeezed and forced to buy new hardware with every new release of an os. think about all the ewaste generated and the adverse impact to the environment?
should the developers not have a responsibility to the environment as well ? I should add that I take my hats off to a lot of the distros and their developers as they are already doing this today.
