I've had it installed on my home machine for the last couple of weeks, and
also had no real problems with it. 'Course, it being my main home
machine, I've not really tried to stress the kernel at all...
As for the installer, it seems very nice. I did have one problem when my
3rd CD was corrupt, the installer didn't really recover very well, but I
reburnt the CD and tried again and it all went well.
I must say, I think the software manager gui (swmgr equivalent) could be
improved a bit, but that's just an annoyance.
Overall, I'm very pleased with it.
