WOW! I'm impressed....
Beeing the multi-distro lover I am, I ran into this distrubition and decided to give it a try. I must say, thei thing packs some serious power for its size! In about 30 seconds time, my machine was booted and at a fluxbox desktop. I don't care what distro you are used to, that is fast! One command and my machine was on the internet. I was able to do much more than I expected. Needless to say, I think this is a great compact distrobution. The only issue I ran into at all was with the sound (isn't that the fall back of all distro's?). Xmms kept giving an error that it could not open the sound card for playback. I tweaked around with the output plugins (OSS and Esound both), but I still couldnt get it. All in all though, I certainly can't say I'm unimpressed. Keep up the good work!
