The integration of graphical management tools also makes it a good choice for newcomers. Certain graphics cards without hardware acceleration did cause problems in the Oneslip web viewer.

All told, though, the system is perfectly suited for older or low-end hardware that is no longer suitable for major-league Linux distributions.
