It is a pretty quick read. I'd say it is a fair assessment of the
alpha release, and at least the issues he pointed out are mostly known
to us (wireless missing, lack of some hardware support, package
management, updates, multiple users.)

I would say that we may want to better document the fact that GCC4 can
be used after running "setgcc gcc4" on the command-line. This probably
would have helped him better compile some of the packages that failed
with GCC2.
