Pros
Pro VERY small
Can be as small as about 9MB, and with even X, wireless modules, and more, it takes up only 72MB.
Pro Surprisingly customizable
Fluxbox window manager is especially slick looking all considered, and the options one gets with it's toolbar, app bar, and wallpaper are surprisingly complex for such a small distro.
Pro Use of tcz packages stored on media outside of MyData
Pro Minimal & beautiful
One of the prettiest distros out there IMHO.
Pro User friendly install guides on site
Easy to follow guides for newbies or those who want a little guidance.
Pro Pacman more stable
In my opinion, Pacman is a better choice than apt. Perhaps Linux Distros should consider migrating.
Pro Active & responsive dev
The dev is very active & is constantly improving the distro. New ISOs released regularly.
Pro Well organized
The dev made this one of the best Distros and easy to add/remove deesktops or wm without breaking the system.
Pro Worth the Donation
The effort and work put in is evident, doesn't look finished half way
Pro Lovely UI Design with an Attractive menu
The developers made sure this distro was crafted well. Really nothing I would change, and the default ensure you won't be installing malware.
Pro Not just a Website with some Ghostfiles
The Site is informative and gives a nice insight into what you can expect from this beautiful distro. For the first time ever for me no customization needed everything is perfect.
Cons
Con Not visually appealing
The operating system is not very pretty.
Con Can be somewhat slow to turn on
Once it is up and going it is unrivaled in speed, but it can be sluggish when it comes to turning on, restarting, or turning off.
