I am running ELX on my desktop PC, and I think it's great! Their support is a 
bit flakey, but overall, I like the distro. It sets up a "Network 
Neighborhood", if you have a home network with Windows, (a must for my 
situation.) It's perhaps the only distro that that I've tried, that got 
everything right, on the hardware detection, other than Lycoris. It has Open 
Office, Gnome, Kde, etc, and all the browsers, cd burners, etc, you could 
wish for. It's my main distro, tho I try nearly everything that comes along. 
2 thumbs up! (for me)
