Just a quick follow-up on installing Xastir on Sidux 2010-01. I installed the KDE lite version natively this time instead of in VirtualBox and installed via the HowTo for Sidux 2010 in the installation notes (fresh CVS download today). No crashes and online OSM is working fine. This machine is a 2.5 year old home brew using a cheap ECS motherboard with an Intel chipset and integrated Intel video chip. The CPU is a Core 2 Duo E6750 (I think I remembered that right), which at the time made the mobo/cpu combo not exactly dirt cheap, but the performance has been strong. So my guess is that the problems some were having with Sidux 2010 must have been hardware related. I have to admit that the hardware in this box has turned out to be very Linux friendly, although most modern Linux distro's seem to be very good with hardware support any more.
