elementary OS Clocks Nearly 100,000 Downloads During Launch Week

[Zeven]

Most of you here must be familiar with elementary OS. If not, read our detailed review of elementary OS Luna first. eOS is basically an Ubuntu based Linux distro with a razor-sharp focus on user interface, just like the Mac OS. As a matter of fact, many elements of the eOS is indeed inspired from the latest iterations of Apple's desktop offering. Luna is the first stable version of the elementary OS ever to be released. And it is built on rock-solid Ubuntu 12.04 "Precise Pangolin", which apparently is an LTS release. So no worries there.

We wrapped-up our comprehensive review of the eOS earlier with a question, "could this become the next big thing in Linux?" It's still very early to arrive at any conclusion. But 100,000 downloads in the very first week of its launch sounds like a very good sign of things to come.

The above is only an excerpt. Here is the source.

I haven't given it a shot yet but it sounds like it is worth a try. Anybody here played with it yet?
