So as how I have reviewed Elementary OS before, I had some idea as of what I was heading in to.

I found the desktop slow, and a but unresponsive at times. Getting the LightDM to work correctly was horrible, every other login was just a black screen, I had to manually restart lightdm from virtual terminal way to many times.
However, if you DO want to try the packages, and hopefully get a better experience that what I did, keep reading below.
