I downloaded a copy of it yesterday and installed it on a test system. it runs great and seems a bit faster than redhat 9.0 to me. I also like the fact that it has apt-get and synaptic preinstalled and configured to keep it patched and up to date. The default window manager is KDE 3.1 and there doesn't seem to be any traces of bluecurve apparent.
