Folks, Saw this on /. and wondered if anybody had tried it yet?
I have tried it; it's too slow. Unfortunately they implemented the entire UI and computational logic in an interpreted scripting language. So, all the flashy spinning animations eat 100% CPU and cause exeptionally slow response. On top of that load, it's also a Bittorrent client.
It's a nice idea and they have some nice content.
Also wondered if I stood a chance of getting it to work on my Thinkpad T20 running last version of Redhat (9.0)? Would getting the tarball and building it on the machine work any better than stepping into rpm hell with the binary?
Redhat 9 is way too old.
