Downloading the "iso" now! :) One iso...now there's a breathe of fresh
air! Just downloaded MDK 10.1. Lucked out and got a fast ftp
connection.
Will sing out when I get a chance to install it on something...Likely my
Dell CPxJ will get it first.

That's not a bad looking setup. Are you using it at present? What are
it's advantages? Does it have a repository of it's own rpm's or can you
install rpm's from other distro's? What about kernel packages, etc? Is
the installer in need of a Masters in Comp science?
I've only just discovered it a few days ago, burned a copy, and installed it
onto a Compaq Presario 2103US of all things.
It went smoothly, and came up into an attractive GNOME-ish GUI which ran
*VERY* well despite the machine only having 256MB of RAM. Historically,
KDE/DeadRat feels more like M$ Windows XP in terms of bringing powerful
machines to their knees unless very amply configured. But I will concede
that my sensitivities to performance issues are probably more than most.
GUI/OS responsiveness rates extremely highly for me. The odd "lags" and
choppy scrolling and window-tearing during dragging of Mac OSX for example
disqualify it completely, though clearly lots of people don't mind it.
I have no horror stories yet.
If you can, give it a try.
