I downloaded and installed RC1 & RC2, both clean installs on an un-used 20 gig HD. RC1 took 47 minutes.
RC2 took 56 minutes. Neither of them found my Linksys nic card, or my SB16 PCI sound board. I found that many familiar items were difficult to locate, and the security popup extremely annoying. I don't think I will
consider downgrading from PCLINUXOS.
