I built it last night. Since Brett recommends it, I thought I'd see what
it's like. It built quickly, loaded without any issues and seemed pretty
fast.

As configured by default it attempts to run Netscape and a couple of
other things I don't have emerged. I'm sure that's a simple config issue
when you dig into it. One strange thing was that all of the apps I ran
seemed to have no borders, so I couldn't resize the xterm, nor could I
move it. I found that a bit odd. Mouse cursor was not an arrow for me.

There were some nice features like a small file manager and a trash can.

Overall I think I'll keep it emerged and try it a bit more one of these
days.
