    Nope. I'm in the same boat. So i downloaded it and installed it. Nothing too special. Afair it's free with one of these magazines this month (linux user / developer, linuxformat or linux magazine) i forget which one. It just seems like a distro that wants to get you on the net asap. I went and switched to gentoo and I've been smiling ever since.

    i got 10 about 2 weeks ago in the post. No idea what to do with them. The live cd wont boot on my laptop so i don't think i'll install it. I installed FC3 a few weeks ago (orderd cds in October, i think) and i'm only halfway to getting everything set up correcty. I thought of leaving them in the library but don't want some poor sole to feck up their computer.

    AFAIK the live CD is based on Gnoppix so the installed version might work just fine on your laptop. I found the installed version "feels" considerably faster too.
