hi
It's currently basically inaccessible. It used to be nearly completely 
accessible but something broke and now orca can see the window but can't 
see anything in it. As to how easy it is to adapt to another distro, I'm 
not completely sure. It has different modules for handling things like 
partitioning, boot loaders, initramfs creation and so on, and I'd assume 
all you'd need to do would be to add support to whatever tools your 
distro uses for those things. It supports grub and syslinux for the 
bootloaders, can automatically install alongside linux, windows and mac 
osx and is supposed to be very fast. I'm waiting for phil and the main 
developer of calamares, called teo, to figure out what has broken and 
fix it, which is supposed to happen this weekend. And in case you're 
wondering about the windows headers I'm on mellisa's box doing repairs, 
again.
Thanks
