I'm new to Linux. Thought I would try the new gOS3. Trying to install from the Live CD and it seems very slow (3 hours now). Early in the install the dock was up with the green back and it poped an error regarding connecting with Gnome. Should I be concerned? Now the screen has gone black and it has remained that way since. It still is reading and the drive is active. Maybe I should mention I'm using a Thinkpad 600x with only 192 Mb of RAM. Could it be because of the slow system?
Thanks!
