[CS-FSLUG] September 2004 Distribution releases

[N. Thompson]

I already tried it :-)

Its a smaller version of Mandrake Linux 10.0 with a few welcome changes, 
notably the software was chosen because it would work faster and use less 
memory then the usual Mandrake applications, there are even interesting word 
processor and spreadsheat applications in there that start up significantly 
faster then OpenOffice.org and possibly even KOffice.

Overall I think its a good distribution, although since its an early release 
don't expect it to be bug free and completely translated into English, also 
its a live CD so anyone interested in trying it should check the minimum 
requirements page and make sure they have enough ram.

One thing I like is the way they use XFCE with a nice setup as their default 
desktop so the desktop itself is not only good for slower machines but also 
looks nice.
