Comments/Problems:
Overall I was impressed with the installation process.
The main area I noticed that could be improved was the hard drive partitioning.
It took me a few minutes to figure out how to use the partitioner.
The UI didn't seem particularly intuitive.
The installed kernel on installation was 2.4.25, the 2.6.5 listed above has been installed more recently.
