I asked LinuxHelpGuy to review MX14.

I think he did a great job (looks like he reviewed 14.0 rather than 14.2 but no matter).

Re: Review MX14 by LinuxHelpGuy
A seriously GREAT review vid!!
[aside: man, does he "dis" Puppy more than once once, or what?!]
What I like, is that he goes to the meat. Libre-office. . . The meta-installer. . . it's not a superficial review, it's a USER'S review.
I liked "They call it a mid-weight --I'd call it a light-weight" remark. I was running my wife's old ASUS 1015PE netbook on antiX for a few years. . . it was the only logical choice. Now she's on MX14 XFCE and loving it, with no performance loss!
Anticapitalista and his cadre in the MepCom seriously need to be VERY proud of MX14!

Re: Review MX14 by LinuxHelpGuy
I just say all the devs. We should probably mention the early testers also. There were some insightful things brought up during early testing.
Yes, even I am dishonest. Not in many ways, but in some. Forty-one, I think it is.

Re: Review MX14 by LinuxHelpGuy
Brilliant review. I like when a professional does it, no talk about wallpaper choice, widget style and other irrelevant issues.
I'm also glad we spent time discussing and selecting what apps to put in the meta-installer (now mx-package-installer) it looks like he was impressed with the selection.
Some relevant quotes

Boots very very fast
I'm seriously impressed with this distribution
MX-14 will blow you out of the water
And I missed a lot of other superlatives...It works outstandingly well
Re: Review MX14 by LinuxHelpGuy
I put this up on the MX review page, but had to take notes instead of just copying/pasting. Will insert a couple of yours as well. A video is not as easy as a text!
It was nice to see him get the package installer, although he seems to think we did all the packaging ourselves. It reminded me of the new user who posted here a few weeks ago that he just laughed the first time he used it.

Re: Review MX14 by LinuxHelpGuy
Well, at least some of the packaging is done by our great community repo team.
