I gave last nights CD a try.<div><br></div><div>The joys of taking something that is the latest cut from SVN, didn't even boot. Things froze after the buttons to "Install" or "Run from CD" appeared on screen (I wasn't able to move the mouse or use the keyboard to click one of them). So for now, the release is still very much for those who like a challenge.</div>

become a Mac user if I am going to use Ubuntu.<br>

I've been using Gentoo for the past year. I enjoyed having some<br>
bleeding edge software over that year, and also not having to install<br>
seperate dev packages everytime I wanted to compile some fly ointment.<br>
<br>
Now I'm using Arch. It's a bit like Gentoo but with a lot less compiling :-)<br>
