I'm sorry but I'm getting a bit sick of distro "reviews" that consist of some wanna be IT "professional" booting up a live CD for half an hour and posting a bunch of screen shots. This "review" is nothing of the kind; it offers nothing of substance with regards to Cinnarch's roots in Arch Linux, the underpinnings of the operating system, the consistency and fluidity of the user experience...nada, zip, zero! Stop wasting my time.

Besides a bunch of screen shots are less than useless, if it wasn't for a distribution logo or 2 you would not be able tell most distros apart, based of screen shots.

Be careful, cmost. You'll be accused of bashing the author of these non-reviews. I was given all sorts of grief when DarkDuck did non-reviews based on live CDs and I called him on it.

The post clearly says "preview."

@Steven: You're right, of course. Lte me rephrase. What is the value of a preview like this?

You get some screenshots. I've seen worse. I've never installed Arch, or Cinnarch, so it has some value to me.
