A puzzling review.  Author is technically competent and seems to understand DSL reasonably well.

I disagree - a technically competent user would have realized he'd need a real X installation to support a i855 card fully. I also found the review lacked detail; the author seemed bent on finding problems (a section in a technical review dedicated to Artwork?!) instead of supplying how he tried to solve the problems, which is what I find the best reviewers do. (For example, I found more than one instance of 'I suspect'). I have nothing against the review (or the author), but I suspect the author should have taken the time to have an indepth look at the distribution.

--------------
System:
eTower 566.12, 32MB RAM, 7GB HD, 200MB swap, 1x USB v.1, Intel 810GFX, Intel 810 Audio.
Recompiled so far: Pretty much everything. I think I'll have to do a remaster to cut the growing bloat off my system.
