Did you run into any challenges doing the install?  Problems with hardware,
etc?

Damn!  I kind of thought that was the case.

Although the UI is swish and cool it wasn't the primary reason.  I was
looking at it because it appeared like the distro would have been better
optimized for things like the EeePC.  I suppose if I was more of a code
jockey I would feel more comfortable experimenting with stuff like this, but
time has been so short lately, I like to find out as much information as I
can before taking the plunge on something...well at least enough to fix
something I break or get some back to where it was before.  LOL

I appreciate the insights and information Gustin.
