Yes, but where should we report our experiences.
2 weeks ago I installed potato on my box from scratch: I the boot images and the base
system through ftp and continued with apt-get. As far as I remember there were only
one severe problem. The loopback-device was not configured from start. So it took me
some time to figure out why half of my net-related software would not work and where
net-devices are generally configured in potato. For the rest potato is great.
