-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
I've tried build 44 and 45 (this is a beta) on my notebook (Compaq Presario 1200) and it hangs when I insert the network card (3com X-Jack). Besides that, it looks very promising as a first distro for an Windoze ex-user, but not for the power user. It's not an improved eDesktop. Remember that it's based on Caldera's LTP (what later became 3.1), so it's more a 3.1 than a 2.4. I haven't played too much with it, but overall I liked it. Bye!
