Yes except for the excessive memory usage, which is a killer ;-( The audience at the last two Sun Tech Days were mostly students and of everyone who showed up at the installfest tables over both events, I can think of only two people who had enough RAM in their laptop for a comfortable install (both of whom were already S10 users, so a different demographic). Everyone else ranged from "sorry kid there's just no way" to "um, yes that shold work but it'll take a while and won't be as fast as your Linux install so let me set some expectations..." If we're serious about making it attractive to students the memory usage is IME the main problem to address. -- Jyri J.
