I have used it and it is very polished but I have concerns at the way
the distro comes with pre-configured codecs and basically completely
ignores the concept of free software. Don't get me wrong I'm not against
proprietary formats as such but given MS and the many patent trolls out
there I do wonder if they are leaving themselves open to lawsuits.

Cheers,
