It's got a simpler installer and is tested more extensively in VM environments. The SXCE distribution shown in your screenshot here is being phased out and we're generally not investigating installation problems with it too closely unless they evidence a general problem with the OS.

Great post that isn't too basic for people that are familiar with Twitter, but I think would help those hearing about it for the first time understand what it is all about. I'm planning to do a story on Twitter in my next newsletter, and will be linking to this post. Figure on a bunch of hits in a few weeks. Karen @karenstl Jeff,
