Maybe v9 is the magic number, as I have been using 8.2..  However, let's 
see what happens if you change your monitor, or add a mouse, etc... Initial 
install is a breeze... no problems there.

Very true..

This is the first time they really supported a SAMBA set up too. Previously 
had to use SWAT, or make my own..  Their firewall is a pain in the butt. I 
would use Shorewall, but just my opinion.  I use their firewall only by C/L 
and save the iptable.. then reload it if rebooting.
