I cant answer your second question, but in regard to the first, release of July 2010 is actually quite good. It works on older hardware and is one of the few linux distributions that works with LXDE (http://lxde.org/) out of the box. Hardware detection is good. The load times are not as good as raved about, and the concept of using office tools via the web is maybe not novel, but is quite well implemented. You need to be set up with Gmail however in order to use these applications. It is an end-user environment with the multimedia applications that come with it and there is a bug in LXTerminal.
 
CTRLALTDEL(8)						     Linux Programmer's Manual						     CTRLALTDEL(8)

NAME
ctrlaltdel - set the function of the Ctrl-Alt-Del combination SYNOPSIS
ctrlaltdel hard|soft DESCRIPTION
Based on examination of the linux/kernel/sys.c code, it is clear that there are two supported functions that the Ctrl-Alt-Del sequence can perform: a hard reset, which immediately reboots the computer without calling sync(2) and without any other preparation; and a soft reset, which sends the SIGINT (interrupt) signal to the init process (this is always the process with PID 1). If this option is used, the init(8) program must support this feature. Since there are now several init(8) programs in the Linux community, please consult the documentation for the version that you are currently using. ctrlaltdel is usually used in the /etc/rc.local file.
