    I finally got SymphonyOne 2008.1 installed on a virtual machine. It seems to use synaptic, has it's own good looking desktop...but I'm not yet able to fully evaluate it because it's in a VM. Seems more original than Mint, so if you're Mint inclined I'd definitely check this one out. It's basically Ubuntu 7.10 with their own unique good looking lightweight desktop. What I got as default is the same as the screenshots on their site. Looks great and should be stable. Their forums are growing, and they are moving up in DW in last 30 days downloads.
