I have tried it too,

It is a very, very small version of Mandrake. I have no idea where "text 
maker" comes
from, but it's in there. The selection of games is good.  It is fast and 
looks good.

Indeed, I didn't see any of the bugs in my time with it, but it does 
need to complete the
english translation.  It is good for slower machines and very good for 
people who just
need to pop in the CD, get some work done and move on.
