just downloaded the iso yesterday..tested it on liveusb today..

the boot time was really fast.. ;D but it took the wrong resolution..1024x768 (it's actually 1366x768)
plasma desktop and kwin keep crashing (i've rebooted it several time)..some other services crashed too (i think) coz after sometimes i couldnt get the desktop at all..juz blank..no krunner etc..

so i guessed it's just not my day :D

wonder if it's just me  ???

never tried any minimal-version iso b4..i planned to set it up for xbmc-standalone so that i can kicked that xbmc-live out of my system (not really a fan of grub2) ;)

well..i'm not complaining..just a lil review here..

maybe i'll try zen mini too when it's there..hope that it will give a better result
