Finally, *something* to get us off the OM discussion.

elementary has a single goal: to provide the best possible experience for our community. We're driven by a desire to be better, not by a paycheck. Contributors aren't profit-maximizers, they're purpose-maximizers.

Transparent and Open.
We believe in the power of open source and global collaboration. That means anyone can download, use, modify, and contribute to the code we've written to bring their ideas to life. The code is developed in the open, meaning it's available for review, scrutiny, and improvement by tens of thousands of developers all around the world. All before it hits your system.

Beautiful and Usable.
elementary is crafted by designers and developers who believe that computers can be easy, fun, and gorgeous. By putting design first, we ensure we're not compromising on quality or usability.


Modern Computing.
elementary OS is a free replacement for Windows on the PC and OS X on the Mac. It comes with what you'd expect, like a fast web browser and an app store with thousands of apps. Plus some things you may not expect, like free updates and no known viruses.

So, let's discuss something else for once, shall we?
I'd rather be a free person who fears terrorists, than be a "safe" person who fears the government.
No gods, no masters.

It oozes class and style. It has that professional info to the user (not to the geeks and developers). That is good.
The video is nice and informative:
:A

And it informs you about what this OS can do - not what it is - that is a good approach.

I swear - if you use this distro you will even get whiter teeth. :-D

The Approach is a classical Ubuntu approach. And Ubuntu is good at this stuff.

Because this is an Ubuntu spinoff.
Manjaro 64bit on the main box -Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz and nVidia Corporation GT200b [GeForce GTX 275] (rev a1. + Centos on the server - Arch on the laptop.
