While the live discs can be a useful test of compatibility, I've found
every one of them to be painful, and screw up badly (lock ups, dead slow
running, crashes), whereas the normal install of an OS worked fine.
They test whether the live disc works, they don't test whether the OS
will work normally.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
