Interesting for a few reasons. I like the idea of a nice simple "dashboard" style interface. Reminds me of the old Xandros (debian based) distro which shipped with the Eee PC originally. I'm also interested in it being Linux Mint. As I understand it Mint ships with stuff that Ubuntu doesn't out of the box. Things like codecs and Flash, so everything "just works". I thought Flash was not re distributable (which is why it's not actually in the Ubuntu repository at all). > What I'd like to know is how they manage to get such good publicity?
