This is coming to you via Debian and Epiphany. I loaded it from the goodbye-microsoft address you gave us and have just finished configuring it. It has been a very easy install for what is reckoned to be the hardest Linux to install, but truly it was a doddle.
<br> It took 2h 40 m to download all the files it needed but after that it set up faultlessly and I have been playing with it ever since.<br><br>I am also dual booting Windows and of course it initialises thropugh Windows so as I hoped, it has picked up all the drivers and it is fully functional. All I had to do was give it the Network information and away it went.
