Can anyone using it grab a screenshot?
I'm not up for recompiling the kernel to get my wireless device working at the moment to get a screenshot myself!
Does it look similar to on Windows?

Thanks!
Looks almost identical, I'm a bit surprised there.
Does about:internets work?!

Amongst other bugs the font rendering is terrible. Makes it a pain to use.

It's fast and makes efficient use of the screen, so I'll be using it on mt EEE when it goes BETA.

Firefox is cripplingly slow.

renders fine here :confused:

updated it? Updates are everyday.

I wouldn't call the fonts in your screenshot fine.

brummie · 5 Jun 2009 at 19:38

did you go to the png and go 100%?

yashiro · 5 Jun 2009 at 19:44

Yes they look exactly like they do on my machine.

Worse still, and this is the same on Windows, you can't even alter the fonts that are used.

i'll have to check it out later. According to google you can change them.
