A few days ago, I was talking to one of my friends and he was all praises about . So I decided to give it a try. I downloaded . Burnt the image. Booted into it and now am posting this entry from it.
It took some time to boot but it detected all the devices correctly and loaded all the correct drivers. It logs in by default as a user called, well, ubuntu. Nowhere in the documentation the passwords (ubuntu as well as root) are mentioned. But you can 'sudo' and change the passwords. Rest everything is cool. No MP3 support though. To play MP3s you have to go and modify /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment following lines :
#deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary universe
#deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary universe
Then you have to run Synaptic package manager (System->Administration) and Reload the package list. Search for gstreamer0.8-mad package and install it. Thats all. You will be able to play mp3s now.
I am planning to use this setup for a week now. Looks like it will pass the test.
Yours Sincerely,
