is it worth dowloading 600mb ?

 

[JojoTheDragon]

Can't say much, since I've not experienced it enough. But I will say that its a worthy 600mb download if you are tired with Ubuntu 11.10. Plus, it loads much faster, easier to use than any other distro I've used before.

Depends on your hardware, ability to adapt, and your preferences.

Nope.. 600 MB will not be suffice.. It misses LibreOffice.Org (it did in the prior versions). So I think that you should go for the DVD Image..

Just finished installing in my vmware setup.

First overall impression: Good.
But people would face more than one problem while installing in vmware.

is it worth dowloading 600mb ?
