"The most disappointing aspect about the release would be its finicky installer. Sure if you have certain hardware, you may never go through the troubles I encountered, but my setup is hardly what you would call esoteric. Yet, I did have to jump through hurdles just to get the system up and running. Both of my test computers, Big Bertha (AMD 64 +3000, Nvidia 6600, 2 GB RAM, 19” Samsung 192n monitor and Soundblaster Audigy) and Mount Doona (AMD X2 +4400, 2 GB RAM, 24” Samsung 244T), were unable to install via the normal installation mode and had to use the text installation mode. Furthermore, once the main text installation was completed, the final stage (where normal users are added) were not available for me."
