Got Linux to boot! 1534

You can believe that if you wish. :)

You worked with a LiveCD for a couple of weeks?

Makes sense, and I should have thought about that. Thanks.

As long as it is easy to set... not a big deal. Firefox on the Mac does *not* have that... one of the reasons I do not use it. On Windows Firefox is about all I do use any more.

I had shareware that did that with iCal. Still, good to see it come with the OS... quite cool.

Even after I selected the timezone the two times were different. Pre-release oddity?

Might play with that next time I boot with it. And, of course, at some point I hope to actually have a hard drive installed Linux to play with.

I did find that I could drag the menu from a maximized window and it would restore to a regular window. Not sure the value of it, but at least it was different than Windows. :)

The interface seemed like they borrowed some from Windows, some from Mac, and then tried to through on all sorts of goodies that may or may not be helpful.

When I tried to make changes it demanded I enter the root pbuttword. That is all I can really tell you on the subject.

If it merely did not have much info I could accept that, esp. on a pre-release. Help tends to be done late in the game. But to not even let you search help... that is just silly.

Thanks, will check it out later.

Have not played with OS X's Dashboard yet, but that seems to give access in a more organized way than just having little icons all over. I do like *some* icons available - such as weather, e-mail, etc... and it was good to see those were either on by default or easy to find with Linux. No need to download or install... they were already there. As I said, I was very impressed with how much came on one CD.

On all three OS's - Mac, Windows, and Linux...

Will look into it.

No argument here. Even with the little gotchas that I ran into, overall I would say that the one modern Linux I tried was impressive. Would need to use it for a while to really form any solid opinions.
