Yes, Boys and Girls; It's not only out, but it's amazing! When I tried the Beta2 version on my laptop, my NIC wouldn't stay up, and the system kept locking up during boot-up, when it was "checking for new hardware" - as in "Harddrake".
Also, Beta 2 ran slow on my laptop, while it ran my CPU in circles on my PC's! Beta 2 was at least 40% faster than Windows 2000 or XP Pro. No question!
But RC1 is Smokin' on the laptop, and I mean fast! They've outdone themselves folks! Just finished the install, and everything is detected - even the Winmodem that will never work in Linux. It may not work, but it is being recognized for a change!
Everything in KDE ( 3.2.6! ) is working as advertised, and actually does what it's supposed to do. No glitches, crashes, and it even accepted some of the KDE 3.2.1 RPM's re-worked by Voidstar for 9.2 .
I'm in love again! If this thing keeps working like this for the next few days, I doubt that it will be giving me problems in the foreseeable future.
Oh, did I mention that cdbakeoven-1.8.9-5mdk.i586.rpm installed perfectly?
Hey Microsoft? Start getting afraid! Very afraid! You guys are toast!
Let the downloading begin!
Anyone have any success with nVidia drivers? 2.6 sounds good, but if I can't play Tuxracer, I'm not interested ;-)
