Anything we can learn from it?

i haven't tried Kurumin for a long time

i liked it, the last time i tried it ... it had a nice look ... i especially liked the fonts, compared to the not so nice fonts other distros had, especially Mandrake ... i learned how to improve the fonts on my Mandrake installation by looking at what Kurumin did

I haven't tried Mandrake in along time either, not since they switched to Xorg and the 2.6 kernel, and my keyboard stopped working with Mandrake (now Mandriva)

I did try the Fedora Core live cd a while ago ... i did not like it much, i don't like Gnome anyway ... but the fonts were really nice ... a little nicer than Puppy's fonts

Puppy and FC both have much nicer fonts than Win XP ... i haven't tried Vista, i don't think i ever will
