I used the Live CD install since it makes things easy and is a very light install (size wise). I've updated my bios to get the full 900MHz instead of the stock 630. Pros: - Nice a light install - No issues during install - All buttons work, even WiFi (on F11, didn't in F10). Cons: - have to use EXT4 since it copies the live image over (arguably not good for SSD's and more I/O overhead) - Default Gnome is not as snappy as it could be. I've used Openbox/Gnome combo which helps but some config screens still don't work well for the 480 vertical display. I have to tab over and guess when the "OK" button is selected. Richard
