 With their main focus on trying to persuade you to part with money, this free version is the very definition of minimal with nothing at all to differentiate it from other Debian/Ubuntu clones.

It does seem very lightweight resource wise using just over 1 GB of RAM and boots quickly from USB, but then it would do with nothing very much to load!

I'm not against supporting Linux distros financially and made regular contributions to PCLinuxOS and more recently Mabox Linux and MX Linux, but only after months of use to make sure it was what I wanted.

Paying up front just doesn't seem the Linux way and I'd rather see the complete thing and use it for a while before I decide it's worth paying money for.

As a lightweight minimalist distro for older hardware it's fine, but there are lots of better more fully featured ones out there.

 After hopping around the past few months and trying 25-30 distros, I'm sure glad I found this one. It was really quick and easy to install, reboot was really quick, and I was at a desktop in no time. Asmi Indicator is a huge plus too- where you can change layout, theme, and install apps, along with a ton of other settings/apps to add or change. Everthing I needed was already installed with the exception of my usual VPN. Very easy to get around in and very snappy on my Dell Optiplex XE4.

Theming looks great, installing software is super easy as it's based on Debian/Ubuntu, and resource usage is pretty low- 2 Firefox tabs open and using 2.5gb RAM. No bloat installed (your opinion may vary) as far I see. Great distro that's snappy and very impressive. I plan on using this as a daily. Highly recommend!
