yea the red carpet is kinda impressing isn't it? 
it's basically Mandrake's "software manager" in make-up and a nice dress.

IMO it's look n' feel is very good and it's really easy to work with. 

( i feel like i already posted something about this... Drake tools work OK
 but i think they could use some make up, too... especailly some work on icons and 
colors in general)

However several people had problems installing the full Ximian Gnome
bundle, as it seems it doesn't handle dependencies perfectly when you
ask it to install all of those 300+ packages...

...so i guess that's what happens when you focus too much on the looks
of it ;oP

as Bill G would say:

-did it compile? 
-yeah
-did the first screen show up?
-yeah...
-SHIP IT!!!!!


or the most famous: "if you can make it work well, make it look pretty."
