In a word, I hated it. The good stuff: The install was the slickest I've seen. The boot disk had a really great boot manager. The package installation program that ran under X was gorgeous. The installation was drop dead simple. The bad stuff: It was HUGE! Ate a lot more disk space than Yggdrasil to install the same stuff. Not a little more, a LOT. I removed it and installed Debian. Debian uses even less than Yggdrasil and has more doc. Been happy ever since.

Anyone out there knowledgable about the history or quality of the Springer Linux dist? "The Linux Universe CD-ROM contains the new Linux Kernel 1.2.X "
