Indeed some excellent "Wow!" stuff and a good fun style for the release
writeup. Certainly not your normal Marketing-speak :-)

Hope there's noone too religiously offended...


I might even give it a try. However, via using dd to a memory stick
rather than burning a dvd ;-) For that, use:

dd if=downloaded.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M

where sdX is your memory stick device, and the iso is a hybrid iso such
as is commonly now provided for such as Fedora and other distros.


All good open source stuff!

Viva la Freedom!

:-)

Cheers,
Martin
