Default How is OCNix?

hey all,

just wanted to know how it is as a OS.
i mean, does it install and work as easy as Ubuntu/Fedora (and others)
and can it handle Compiz Fuzion and "normal" drivers?
i would like to use this for folding and regular use on my sig rig, instead of Ubuntu...will it be a step back for me...or and upgrade?
thanx

Isn't it pretty much just a live distro?

I don't think it's installable.
