Hmm, since you think it necessary to bash someone else's purpose/scope of reviewing a Linux distribution AND think you have the cornor on what needs to be neatly contained in a review, I hope you too can take a little critique. What you have so skillfully avoided in your long laundry list is the need to actually state the purpose for installing a new distribution in the first place. Too many forget we use software to solve a problem. How about stating what the problem we are trying to resolve is along with how the solution (Linux dist) solves it. I mean, are we downloading the distribution to handle databases better, manage storage, provide an email server, etc.. Too many think just because someone can get a distribution up and running it is a viable solution. Let's start linking what we do to a reason. And NO, we don't need to review every piece of every distribution, application, piece of equipment to give the readership something valuable. :)
