Well... some testing, some bugs. Home sick today so I had some time for a quick first look (always a silver lining

).
On my main sysem, i5/4G/nvidia gf 240, using burned CD's; Installer crashed while looking for media. Could be because I have a partition with a dozen different VL iso's on it. I restarted the installer and captured the output. Stdout just showed "Scanning /dev/sr0", errors were as follows:

Next, used the text installer, rebooted and installed everything from CD2.
The login process is very cool, it looks like an opening scene from a scifi movie.

Desktop effects wobbly and transparency was enabled. No errors reported. As usual, my webcam grabbed the top spot for sound card, but I did get a startup sound. While I was trying to change default soundcard the system froze up. Hard reset, then tried to install LibO 3.5 using gslapt. Walked away from system while it was downloading, a few minutes later I hear the machine reboot. Tried again while watching it, and it locked up a few seconds into downloading the LibO package.
Probably won't have much time to do a lot more testing for a week or so.
