Yes, the screenshots are bad. They also chose the nastier of the two themes available for the screenshots. In real life, the desktop looks much better and there were no issues with seriously ugly fonts. As for using it, well I did try it on a clean install of RH 7.2 on a reasonably fast laptop (750Mhz, 190MB Ram, etc) and it works fairly well. For some odd reason it decided that my soundcard should have the gain all the way up with the mic on as well everytime I rebooted. The resulting feedback was loud enough to make my skin crawl and become borderline ill. Nothing I did would maintain my volume preferences so I ditched it. Not the politicaly correct thing to do of course, I should have tried to actually fix it but I do not feel the need to be bothered with that when it just works on other distros. Debian went back on and all was well. The other issue was purely a user interface one, and that is there is no intuitive way to close an application once you start it. No little X, no File > Exit or Close, no nothing. I ended up using xkill to close the included full screen apps. Performance was actually very similar to a default RH laptop install as far as memory usage and application feedback is concernec, though it is nowhere near the speed of something like Fluxbox. All in all I would not recommend it for anyone as it stands. KDE and Gnome are both more immediatly usable and intuitive for most I think. Your mileage may vary.
