I agree, every feature automatically works. The fun part is finding all of the open source versions of expensive software used on Windows and Mac. (c: I enjoyed being able to still use command lines to use the OS, and enjoyed customizing the UI 100%. Very cool!

I thought I would quickly click a few buttons and have it running, but hahaha. I have an Acer Aspire with Intel Media Accelerator X3100 and can't find one how-to that will help me. Up until this everything else worked pretty fabulous though, I had the same OMG-it-works experience when the install just went smoothly. One other issue is that my manual volume control adjusts both speakers and external mic and creates feedback when I up the volume. Other than that, I love Hardy. Hey Dave, how’d the dual-monitors go?

I put my laptop to sleep last night (suspend to RAM), and when I put it on my docking station this morning, it kernel panicked. Oh well, you can't win them all. Later today I'll try booting up on the docking station and see if I can get two external monitors to work (which does work under WinXP). --Dave Well Gabe, you were right.
