I'm not sure why it is, but I had trouble with my CDROM with a few different distributions. I tried burning multiple iso CDs but had the same, consistent problems. I suspect not all distributions picked up my CDROM driver correctly. At this point I have installed OpenSuse, with the KDE desktop. Thanks for your comment, I'll keep an eye on your blog for future Linux posts, good luck with your transition!

I'm running XP x64 for now at home and trying to find a Linux to transition to. Give the newest Xubuntu a shot sometime. I'm liking it quite a bit and the only hardware issue I've run into so far on all the machines I've installed it on is an intermittent issue with wireless coming back online on my eee.
