noticed it's a bleeding edge distribution. :D

might see if I can change the type to stable, list all current packages and see, might reduce the updates.

running in XFCE.

Have to say i like it.
Like you say everything works, Comes with video drivers/flash/real player and libdvdcss2 etc preloaded.
The new package manager has achieved the imposable and made updating relatively easy.
Much better than keroo and a quantum leap better than portato which i could never get to work properly.
What i do like and have not seen before is on the installer it has an option for ultra portables (asus eee pc etc) this is whats now on my laptop and it flys(toshiba A100 994)
It's picked up my screen res and booted with 3d activated (no fancy graphics, bored with them already and they just distract for working)
It was also straight forward to set up for duel screen operation works a treat on my 32" hdtv.
I also like how it starts installing updates-programs as soon as they are downloaded instead of waiting for all updates to download before starting. Mind you this is no bad thing as anyone used to apt or rpm will be shocked at how long it can take to update/compile a program.
On the niggle side, I prefer the previous version colour scheme and the music on boot is annoying.
I also don't see why they modify the kde desktop to mimic gnome with 2 bars.

Edit.
It also has options for samba and nfs on installation,Picked up and set up my home network with ease.
Edit2.
Was not paying proper attention on the updates it downloaded them all first.
I have 49 updates and it's taken 5 mins to update 6 packages so far.

4gb download but worth it in my opinion, Entropy the new package manager is fantastic.

Graphics card works, monitor works, 3d games work, wireless works, email works, update manager works.

roll on 4.0
