What are your impressions of Libranet 3 in addition to the below? I'm thinking I should perhaps move to Kanotix, rather than upgrade Libranet, since you seem to like it so well and since it seems like it would be much easier for mounting my iRiver, external hard drive, etc. In mounting the external hard drive last night, Libranet wouldn't recognize the device until I completely rebooted the system. Not a big deal but still a pain. (and yes, I did turn it on!) :)
