Yep.... it's ridiculously fast, that's no joke, it's like running something like the Amiga workbench on a modern computer. Having no Wi-Fi really kills it at the moment, but I'll definitely keep an eye on this one.

Only problem with some of these new OS's, is that they are blindingly fast to start with, and then once all the essentials/services get bolted on they end up pretty much the same as everything else (though Linux copes better than most with that). I often say to people, there is a fair reason why Windows is slower than many other popular OS's, is that because over time it's been built to do pretty much everything, a swiss army knife, a jack of all trades etc.
