unicorn is on a distinguished road
Writing this using Mozilla in Xandros v2.

This far:
I made backups of two important partitions,
choosed Custom Install
wrote down my usernames and passwords
and had a working system up and running after exactly 30 minutes

First bsod (it hung, everything except of the mousepointer) after 32 minutes while playing around in the "First time running wizard" (or something like that).

So far so good, it's great to have a Linux based desktop again, the last years I have been using XP only and, well, it's good to be back. Allthough I would have liked a choice of using Gnome, it partitioned the systemdrive into ReiserFS (good), I wasn't able to choose where to put the swap-file (I had a partition at another drive free for that purpose). Well, that will be fixed. No problems with the hardware, it helps to have Nvidia graphix and a postscript writer of course.

Now I have to go find a decent firewall for this. Suggestions?
