While going through the magazine, I find this article that explains why this time the distro is disappointing.
The article is "Why Linux Cannot Rule the World Yet." by the Editor. The attitude shows.

Looks like the editor is flamed just because he could not fix a small problem(some font problem).
No! He is flamed for bringing out an experimental product to unsuspecting readers who wait an entire year to have the latest and best updated version of the lot. It also creates a wrong impression about Linux which is a beautiful operating system totally based on community effort and contribution. Unless there is some strict criteria for quality like some minimum standard of performance, open source freedom may end up as a free for all with quality being compromised for variety. The only ones to benefit and have the last laugh will be the commercial organizations who are ever ready to entice and trap more and more users.
It would be interesting to know from PCQ, what were the different motherboards they tested their 2006 distro on, and how many of them had the sound system up and playing without any extra driver installation or tweak ( Keeping in mind new users).

Rony.
