Dave, what do you think of Dreamlinux? I installed it to give it a test drive, and it's pretty nice, but has some bugs. For one thing, "Easy Install" is borked. The wrong command is in the launcher command found in "Properties" when you right click on the Easy Install icon. The correct command is "sudo easyinstall.rb" without the quotation marks. Secondly, when you try to install Firefox 3.1 using Easy Install, it does not install anything, but DOES remove the default version of Firefox and there was no way I could see of recovering it since it is not in DL's repositories. I had to install Iceweasel instead. Thirdly, just as in SimplyMepis 8.0.10, the hplip toolkit is borked. I also don't like having to manually connect to the internet every time I boot into Dreamlinux. It is a nice Debian Lenny based distro, but needs more work!
