Normally I don't like forks either, i'd rather people put their time and effort into creating better software than more variations of Linux, especially as I believe that the reason Linux is still behind Windows is due to the number of distro's, and variations of them.
However, this one grabbed my attention as it was pushed as a development/CS distro, however, I've got it running in VMWare and it looks very nice, but pretty much everything then has to be added afterwards, very little installed with the OS.
