Why not say something about what distinguishes it from other distributions?

Well to give you an ideathe live Cd loads very quickly. Its Cairo dock is very functional. It uses the Xfce system complete with the Thunar file manager. The weather widget was set to Canada; I switched that to Malta, and It is amazing as it gives a 5 day forecast.
It has Firefox 8 by default and I had no problem view some tv channels from tvnutters.com.
There is no office.
I tried it at the off*ce.; same again; tried streaming E22 from di-ve, no problem, its multimedia package takes care of that.
The only problems that I found were the near absense of info for the passwords, also although there is mention of lilo, and Grub, the latter was not found. So when I installed it I couldn't chose between windowze, or vector. So I might some help there......

I see it's based on slackware..not classically the most user friendly or distributions..what about package management/installation of new software ?

I think that it is taken on by Gslapt:
