I downloaded and installed it on a test machine I keep around.  Minimal
distro.  As mentioned, no dev or src packages. They chose KDE instead of
Gnome for the default GUI (a negative in my score).   I'd have to look
but I am pretty sure Samba and Apache are missing as well.  However,
OpenOffice, Mozilla, etc are all there and the OS detected and
configured the hardware without a hitch.

Altogether, I give it a 3.9 out of 5.
