I read this review and have a couple of machines for which the distribution
would be especially appropriate. What goes unmentioned is the package
system it uses and the location and nature of repositories.

It's based on Debian Stretch so you can use any of the same repositories.

It is based on the Debian Stretch 9.2 and Trinity 14.0.5, which are among
the latest platforms available.
So the location is not clear.

Yes, but they implemented only parts of Trinity. Especialy, many configuration
(settings) elements are missing. For example Window Decorations (which are
very important for me as I never used the close-button on the right).
If anyone knows how to "just add" the missing elements... I tried
reinstalling from Trinity-Debian but the result was not good.
Besides, if the former version was "Windows 2000" like in look, the lastest
has a "Windows 10" look, they eevn tweaked the panel's "start
button"...

Well, yeah, though I haven't seen it yet, I don't feel like wanting a system
configured like that either. That's for their target group supposably. Anyways,
I hope it helps keeping TDE alive!

There are ways to add back the missing pieces
They talk about it in their FAQ. https://q4os.org/dqa011.html#desktop.10
You can also remove the configuration files to get a standard menu back.

Thanks. I thought I knew Debian and TDE good enough to spare reading the FAQ,
obviously I was wrong :)

Contrary to Nik's 2¢ I would say Q4OS *is* worth bothering, especialy if you
want to introduce new users to both Debian and TDE.
I got a colleague to install it (1.8) on a netbook - he came to Linux after
KDE 3 and did not know TDE at all.
*And* I would add that they do an ARM version (I think not yet based on Debian
9) that runs TDE on the Raspberry pi and similar machines (where KDE and
Gnome 3 have no chance at all).
I have a Raspberry pi running TDE in my shade, running a TCL front end to a
USB thermometer, that I can check over wifi with Kdrc, lot fo fun :)

I don't particularly like the Q4OS focus on being a Windows replacement (I
also do not have any particular issues with Windows - use what works best in the
particular use scenario) . I feel a distro should be confident enough in its own right and
do things it's own way . Having said that it is clear Q4OS have been successful in
attracting attention in the technical press - being truthful I did not know of TDE until I
came across it in Q4OS.
Also if the Q4OS devs are submitting bug reports etc back to TDE devs then that is a good
thing and to be welcomed - maybe even they might be prepared to help out with TDE
development ?

Q4OS seems to be a Debian Wheezy, but more easy, less complete
with stripped-out version.
TDE works well on Q4OS, I use it for laptops in a class room (learning Linux).
It's a light Linux, good for old computers who find again
a new youth.

The statement was it is based on Stretch - but perhaps
you can get it
running on Wheezy as well
Sorry,
The last version of Q4OS must be based on Stretch...
