[Techtalk] What distro?

[Kathryn Marks]

For me, the LiveCD (or install DVD) never gets to a desktop.  I've tried a
couple different boot options, but honestly, I have a working system now and
I'm not that motivated to upgrade if it's going to take this much effort.  I
don't know if it's my video card (a nVidia GeForce 9600 GT) or mobo (Asrock
is the brand I think, but not sure what model as the computer was custom
built over here in Korea).  It's got an Intel Core2Quad processor and 4 gigs
of RAM.


I think it's hanging somewhere about the ACPI stuff, but I really don't
understand it.  :(
