Was contemplating whether or not I should wait for final release.. couldn't wait...... :D

Formatting/(re)partitioning took about 2 minutes.. total install, less than 8 minutes..

updating system, less than 45 seconds..

only 1 reboot required.. and it was only for an nvidia driver...

For an RC, excellent!!

Win, 2 weeks to upgrade after a fresh instal... or 2 months to get cr@p sorted after "upgrade to new OS".. Mac, no idea.. :p

Anyway FReepFriends, ver nice and smooth install.. OH.... ->>

I did have to reformat my USB flash to FAT16 (from FAT32).

Other than that, gets smoother every time :D

I'm not finding a live DVD. I won't do an install on one of the production boxes, and hate to do one on the development boxes that are running tests.

This may have to wait for later.

Forgot to mention a few things... seems they wiped about 27,000 lines of code out.... much faster boot... doesn’t try to connect while booting.. darnit.... just get the live-cd and check it out.

Very nice, overall, have not ran into any problems yet.... so far, only blemish I see, is that the connected/not connected icon remains the same.

OH!!!! 1 Thing I have had a problem with since I started Linux... could never find a way to control the fan speed on the GPU/Vid Card... (in my case, nVidia)

VERY simple way, was always hidden from us :/
