I have tested Cooker for awhile now and I downloaded the release 8.2 ISO's and they went in without any problems. I kind of find it a bit sluggish at times but then again what do you expect with a K62-300 and 256 MB ram. I'm really satisfied with the product and I will bring it into my shop to resell it as soon as its avilable in boxed format.
The only _minor_ glitch that I found was when installing it on a system that has onboard "Built-in AC97 Digital Audio (by VT82C686B)" (Epox 8KTA3+Pro board). The sound would come out kind of low and I would get like (sounds funny) *puff* sounds out of my speakers. Well thats the best I can explain the sound. Maybe it could be some kind of static or the sounddriver sends out some kind of signal every so often. I didn't try the Release version on a board like this, maybe the gotten better with the newer kernel. Also when installing a Realtek 10/100 network card in the PCI slot next to the AGP card seem to slow the system down when running Linux . Probobly cause they both use the same IRQ. I guess its something to do with the IRQ sharing (Windows doesn't have this problem with sharing IRQ's). /MattB
