FWIR (From What I've Read) it appears to be veneer over Debian. A new,
nicer installer, along with new themes for KDE, and not much default
software. It's not free and you have to pay to connect to their software
repository to download more software.
Having said that, because it's Debian underneath, install all the
apt-get/dpackage tools and all the Debian software in the world is
available to you.
It also appears that the CEO is one of those "characters" that people tell
other people about having worked for, but never want to work for again - if
that makes any difference - it shouldn't necessarily.
Having said all that, I'm probably not entitled to an opinion, because I
have no eyes-on or hands-on experience with it.
