pretty fair and positive, don't you think?

[smoker]

yeah, he seems to have explained the open source apps pretty well, and also the fact that these apps are installed along with an install of ubuntu.

looking forward to reading part 2 :-)

[madjr]

he usually does pretty good reviews.

is not the first i read from him

[Old Marcus]

Pretty accurate there, though the image he has of GIMP makes it look like paint with that drawing. :P

[FuturePilot]

That was a very fair overview.
