When I reviewed version 1.3 I gave it 2 points, so it's improving.
This time I installed the Xfce version by net-install, which took an hour but was successful.
Mplayer still crashes occasionally, but not so often. The network is still lost occasionally.
Typical of Frugalware was Fontforge. This was included by default, but left out of the menu. It was compiled to look for a specific version of libpython, which was not the one supplied. When it finally ran, all of the menus had spaces inserted between the letters.
As I said of version 1.3, this distro has too few developers trying to handle too many programs and too many user interfaces. A small team needs to create a small distro, unless they base it on another.
