You definitely have a point there.  I dont have any extensive knowledge 
of the above distributions but as I understand it those werent polished 
or geared up for desktop users. The key point is not tie up a means of 
distribution ( retail sales)  to targetted market (desktop)

I would love to read more of such articles including quick previews of 
test releases

No. That wasnt me but please do review anything that you can get your 
hands on neverthless ;-). If you require any clarifications before doing 
any reviews do feel free to ask. Even on instances where I wouldnt be 
aware of it I would dig out information on a best effort basis
