Give it 9 out of 10. Loads from disc, no way to boot this operating system from USB memory card device stick, screen turns black, then goes back to windows boot menu. Tested this on older computer machinery, it only seems to work on legacy hardware. Great if' you have older hardware that can not load windows anymore or refuses to load windows at all properly with all the drivers, xp, 2000, me, nt, 982nd edition. *Needs* to boot from burnt dvd-r though. Some odd reason just gives black screen of death on USB memory card device stick. Modern computer hardware dose not use fat-16-bridges no more, if' that what this project is going for it limited to legacy hardware only. That dose not mean it is bad though, still useful in one way or another which can be good thing as there is not many linux projects left making operating systems for older technologies no more, which is quite sad to be frank. Many computer users out there that refuse to modernize to more new technologies, even gamers, and collectors of relic technologies.

I have only tested this distro in VirtualBox.

Screen flickers like crazy, both during install and when using the desktop.

It's slow to boot.

System updates are very slow.

Some windows and dialogs are out of focus.

Community seems to be dead.

It's an independent distro so should be given credit for that.

Unfortunately it uses systemd.

It's RPM (As windows with .exe) exactable installer files, so obviously this is a red hat, italian edition.

Did not need much help, kde desktop, saw it says use apt in command, bash, shell, that is the similar commands as ubuntu or debian.

sudo su [pass] apt-get install (software)

etc, etc,

synaptic runs on this os, as long as that's there, have no problems otherwise.

It is a independant respin of redhat and opensuse or geckoOS.

Feels a lot as (mandriva,mandrake) frances magia operating system, or rosa os, to open-mandriva.

Just with a more italian feel rather than a french or russian one.
