Right now I'm running 2.2.17 and I seem to be one of those unfortunate people who had troubles. I'm glad to hear 2.2.19 works better with the Linksys. I have a friend with a fast connection who is downloading and burning the progeny installer or should I call it PGI or piggy. I'm going to try it on my test machine. Although when I did install Progeny Linux I did run into problems. I'm sure they have worked out the bugs by now.
