Everything worked flawlessly after installation. In that respect, It was
better than Ubuntu 5 on that very same box. Ubuntu did not have the network
automatically configured. Then you have another factor which is saturation
of programs (bloat), which is something I have nothing against (given solid
hardware). It saves time. I love distrobutions that are complete (or overly
and excessively complete), as well as fully-functional after less than half
an hour. SuSE is another such example, among many.
Best wishes,
Roy
