Well I was told as a kid not to say anything if I can't say nothing nice so
I get to say something - at first run just in "live" (working demo) mode I
must say for a Linux distro I am impressed (hell did I say I am impressed
with Linux???) Yep this one actually is deserving of at least a loading on a
spare mo-sheen for a while then possibly on one of my regulars.
Things I need to find out though - how compatible is OpenOffice with things
like MS Office 2000 or XP, will things like my Officejet G85 all-in-one
function like it does now (have to see what HP has as well, they seem to be
supportive of Linux to some degree lately), does the floppy format actually
give you a usable floppy unlike W2k and XP's stupid failing formatting (I
keep a DOS machine handy just to do a stock format anymore) and most of all
has anyone done a Lilo (that's the name for the multiboot manager isn't it?)
multi/dual boot installation with either W2k or XP yet and how did it work
out?
By the way I'm not passing up the freebie Joe - they're still getting my app
for the CDs - if anything I have their most recent disks.
