So, PHLAK is both good and bad. It's not the worst distribution I have used, but it's close. There aren't any bugs in it that can't be fixed. I just didn't want to fix them. If you do, in doing so, you will gain a lot of experience in editing text files, and working with basic Linux operation.

I don't have time to iron out the bugs. I have other distributions that are much more friendly in every sense of the word. Maybe when PHLAK 0.4 comes out, the folks who set it up might just iron out all the bugs. If that happens, and they keep the cool, PHLAK could be a real pleasure to use. I hope they go there.

For the serious user though, steer way clear of either version of PHLAK. There are so many more workable Linux distributions available; it is really not worth your time or effort to get frustrated by PHLAK's way too numerous problems.

It's up to you to decide what is most important: using your computer, or gaining experience fixing it. If your choice is the former, stay away from PHLAK. If the latter, there is no better barely functional bug fest available!

Blessed be!
Pappy
