1230930 2011-09-14 04:39:00 I'm going to go one step further and run it in a VM on my netbook :lol:

Downloaded the 2.8GB ISO in about half an hour - over the university's wifi :D

1230931 2011-09-14 04:42:00 This should be interesting.

the iso is 4.8GB, Not 2.8.

Says who?

1230932 2011-09-14 04:44:00 Just remember: "will run" is quite a different statement than "runs well"....

In my experience Windows machines need at least twice as much RAM as declared on the box for the minimum specification requirement...

1230934 2011-09-14 05:05:00 the iso is 4.8GB, Not 2.8.

As mentioned before, the 32-bit ISO without developer tools is 2.8GB.

Keep in mind they're also targetting the ARM Tablet market, where most currently have 1GB of RAM and the nVidia Tegra2 chip.

Let me know if it removes all your MP3s and pictures.

I once had a Linux-thing-y do that to me.
