Well, in two days we'll see how she really shines when I swap this HD into a new system and boot right up without configuring anything.  Try that with ANY other full desktop OS.  hehe.

P.S.  I've done everything in DSL without asking a single question on the forums...  The info is there, you just have to look a little.  And when you look for things, you stumble on other neat things, like the persistent directories I'm using.  And no I'm not a seasoned vet of linux, I started into linux about 1 month before 0.7.2 (which is the first version of DSL I downloaded, and from which I've never looked back).  I am still a n00b just like most of the posters here.  My advice, let the masters spend their time making DSL better, and use your own time to find the answers and learn a little more about linux.  Knowlege is power, and with DSL, power is good.

OH MY GOD!!!

I just put together my new computer, Sempron 2200+, 512 PC2700, GeForce MX4000, HD from old computer with frugal install...

Booted right up into my familiar desktop, and the only difference is how much faster everything runs.  No extra config.  No new device drivers to load.  No "Oops, this isn't the computer Windows was intalled on, you're screwed."  hehe.  I love this damn distro.
