I did a clean install and all went well except that many of the apps I
selected didn't load during install, like sndconfig- I *think* anything from
the ext-iso. But I installed from hdd, so I kinda happy <read: surprized> it
worked at all. I just downloaded anything I noticed I needed and installed
afterwards-like kdegames. I think a fresh install is the key.
All my hardward was automagically configured and worked right out of the box!
(Except I did need to load nvidia drivers-and had to use rpms, the tar.gz
wouldn't load.) But I get lots more framerate than ever before. Like
2000fps testing with gears, 400 at full screen. (That's about 33% better).
And gnome actually looks great now. I'm tempted to use it.
No crashes, everything working. Easy, painless. Don't worry about it unless
you have some of exotic hardware. I recommend it. Can hardly wait for the
retail package.
