SticMAC™ Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Yes! It's small, uncomplicated, and easy to install! If you need something and can't find it, there is a "run command2 on the main menu that will, like spotlight, give you a list of everything it has, ie, "ter" will give you "terminal" The main menu can be accessed anywhere by left or right clicking on the desktop. It has many faults but is good enough for everyday use!

SticMAC™ Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I've not tried, or bothered to get a Wine as the whole idea of moving to *ix is to get away from all the Win stuff, maybe spend some time and find equivalent software to do the same thing Look for OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE SticMAN itunes, limewire,Nero,ect.

S.SubZero Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I tried it in a virtual machine a few weeks ago. I crashed Enlightenment constantly through nothing but clicking things. I also didn't like the lack of customization. It's really designed for the Wal-Mart PCs it is sold with. It has tons of links to buy products. That's really all it is, a front-end to spending money.
