Hi,

I've tried build 44 and 45 (this is a beta) on my notebook (Compaq
Presario 1200) and it hangs when I insert the network card (3com
X-Jack).

Besides that, it looks very promising as a first distro for an Windoze
ex-user, but not for the power user. 

It's not an improved eDesktop. Remember that it's based on Caldera's
LTP (what later became 3.1), so it's more a 3.1 than a 2.4.

I haven't played too much with it, but overall I liked it.

Bye!
