You definitely have a point there. I dont have any extensive knowledge
of the above distributions but as I understand it those werent polished
or geared up for desktop users. The key point is not tie up a means of
distribution ( retail sales) to targetted market (desktop)

I would love to read more of such articles including quick previews of
test releases

No. That wasnt me but please do review anything that you can get your
hands on neverthless ;-). If you require any clarifications before doing
any reviews do feel free to ask. Even on instances where I wouldnt be
aware of it I would dig out information on a best effort basis
