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.
