Hi I am new to the list.  I have not really had time in the past to play
with the Beta releases.  I have a bit more time and have been excited by
the list of apps that are included, so took the plunge.

The DL and burning went smoothly.  I chose the 'Recommended' install for
my first attempt at a beta release install and that went by without a
hitch.  Nice job.  It wasn't until I logged in as a user that the nasty
nit presented itself.  X would not fire up!  The 'diagnostic' that
popped up was nice.  It offered to help me diagnose the problem.
Everything hardware wise seemed to be recognized correctly.  Then
looking over the log file I noticed that all the messages were from
version 3.x of Xfree86!

I found that very disappointing,  that the 'Recommended' install from a
'SOTA' Linux install chose Xfree86 3.x instead of 4!  I find this
especially strange considering the 'up to date' levels of most of the
other apps I have seen ... and ... since Xfree86 version 4 =is= on the
CD.  Is there a good reason why the default is the older version of
Xfree??
