I have. But it is an OS for a very specific purpose.  People dealing 
in audio/video editing, music publishing etc etc., along the same
lines would love it.  The beauty of the OS is that on my Pentium
II-450 it boots in 8 secs flat from power-up and it has a readily
unix readable file system.  The downside is that it is not totally open 
source and does not have an exhaustive set of drivers; infact far
far from it.
