Some of this seems to be different results for the same stuff. For example Flash and java work just fine here as does my video on both machines with built in ATI chips (HP boxes) and my home brew (Radon 3000). All in all, I agree with the guy that said report the bugs in detail to see if it's a general thing or something with a specific card, chip set, mobo and son on. The other thing is that the community release is, really, the last beta and we're the testers. For me the distro is ready for prime time. That's just my results, mind you. ttfn John ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
