I don't think it's too technical .... install the rhad labs rpms and
look ...  it's at the "look and touch but expect it to break" stage ...
most stuff seems to work and should be usable .... but there are still a
lot of bugs and unimplemented features ... while some apps are rock
stable, some are quite unstable or not working at all ... the rpms will
only install those that actually compile ... :)
