be available publicly next week.

Lots of changes and from what I have played with so far, lots of them
are for real.

Enjoy. Or not.

2 Fedora, 1 Ubuntu, 2 Solaris and 1 XP. Also run BSD, but inside a VM.
Vista, I use the CD as a coaster. Only MS-DOS around her is inside XP.

But why unimpressed with Ubuntu? Can't be UI learning, Vista is a big
shake-up on learn comparatively. Just out of curiosity what turned you off
of Ubuntu?

The "kit" aspect, and trying to get some support in a reasonable amount
of time from some rather snotty linux newsgroups.
