1. A revised kernel with newer hardware support. (915/965 chipset etc). My laptop and one of my desktop boards (Intel DG965OT) have a lot of difficulty booting from this CD and a lot of other distro boot cd's. 2. A small script for the network setup. I find the network a bit hit and miss sometimes, possibly due to point (1) above. Overall I find the CD very well made up and am happy with it. As a linux learning tool, it is one of the most useful I have ever come across. It is very well explained as you go along, and has a good balance of the theoretical stuff and hands on stuff. > Of course any other thoughts or comments are welcome.
