Not silent, but busy :-) I have not strong opions about blends. It is
generally useful for naive GIS users or some specific goals, as well as
live distros and other similar efforts. So, if people volunteered to 
maitain them it is always a good thing. Of course, I'm biased by my 
very little use of tasks at installation time and/or live dvds.
One could say I'd tell the same of any desktop environments, too.
So my opinions about those things should be ignored :-) I'm not
the typical user...
