My experience with live DVDs is that they're a poor indicator. I've had Live discs that simply cannot be made to run, are as slow as molasses that you'd consider the PC too slow to run Linux (*), or discs that run but a normal install cannot be made to. So I always use them with large dose of skepticism. * That slowness isn't just down to disc drive speed, but the graphics seem painfully slow, and even applications that you've given time to fully load up. -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.17.8-200.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Fri Jan 9 00:01:03 UTC 2015 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
