I usually see the ZenMini black screen with the swirl for a while, then text (up to "Welcome to PCLinux 2010" then sometimes (not always) I get a progress bar just before my desktop appears. It's not a big deal, really, but when I want to show off my machine to Windows users, it kinda freaks 'em out. I figure there seem to be workarounds for everything, so I thought I'd ask.
