Daniel, I've been using osol since it was out, and SXCE before.
I use it every day to work, and so far, I've never had any problem. Of course, as I need to have it as stable as possible, I'm running OSOL 2009.06, the stable version. I don't update it with the /dev repository as this is known to be unstable and under test. I know there is some functionality I'm missing, but I need to have everything working, so prefers to stay in the official release, instead of running the latest bits available. I use firefox, thunderbird, openoffice, and plenty of terminal windows. I play facebook games on it, and it works just fine.
