Nah! Tried gNewSense and it did everything straight off the disc that 
Ututo-e did not (in the article) and still doesn't yet (according to FSF 
newsfeed), although U-e is getting there.

Certainly gNS beat both Knoppix and Ubuntu/Kubuntu for picking up my 
Advent 7088 machine and running straight off. I can even live with GNOME.

FSF is not wholly endorsing either, but the press release for gNS is 
hopeful (http://www.fsf.org/news/gnewsense).

See you tonight, if anyone is still around at 20:20.
