While the live discs can be a useful test of compatibility, I've found every one of them to be painful, and screw up badly (lock ups, dead slow running, crashes), whereas the normal install of an OS worked fine. They test whether the live disc works, they don't test whether the OS will work normally. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.23.15-80.fc7 i686 i386 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
