Kidding aside, Sir Allan.. I believe you are a good person and also an innovator. What you’ve written doesn’t quite fit the character an influential character such as yourself is. It came to you that these people, the KahelOS team, are arrogant and self-righteous, where in fact they’re not if you’d just let the chance to know them better.

But you focusing on that what you believe you abhor and want to correct, you’re slowly becoming it. Wouldn’t it be better to focus instead on the common values?

You are an influence to a lot of people, particularly the younger generations. Please be responsible on that power, as all power corrupts. Respect begets respects.

Open up a ‘good’ dialogue, I’m sure the team will listen to you. These are respectful people we’re talking about.

I think the team did not put in alpha/beta stages for the simple reason that it is a rolling release (where I think versioning is useless). The latest version is actually better than it was before Dec 25. That alone shows that the KahelOS team keeps on improving their OS.

but i agree with Flamelab…things would have gone much better if there was a alpha/beta stage..

This made my day

on topic: overall it doesn’t look too bad. Though firstly, the installation isn’t exactly newbie friendly, as the text based installer can be confusing for the inexperienced.

Their choice of the colour (orange) is very bad (for the eyes).

also looking at their screenshots (transparency), if they have compiz enabled by default, it could be a problem for older hardware (especially the ones with intel adapters).

Though one positive thing out of this is that instead of being another distro based on ubuntu (we have millions of those), it is trying to be different.
