Hooray.... a New release! Torrent Download just in progress via DW. and should complete in less than 90 minutes. Anxious to try with the old eGeforce 7600GT
and a recent ATI/AMD HD3650 (fingers-crossed?) with the Wide Screen 1080p LCD. TIA for your everything you do. :)

Raining outside, but Sun is definitely shining in here. Live zipped faster than ever before right through the grand Nvidia Logo, choose Enhanced Desktop and Everything loaded as if in Auto-Pilot.
Looks Spectacular! Take a bow for Entropy and the Spritz Package Manager, as it did the work for me. Just Great! Thank you very much Lxnay and the Team.

SO ath5k works on 64 and x86? Just curious...

[desevensa]

Forgive my poor english.
I'm downloading this iso and there isn't seeders or leechers. It isn't a easy way to download it. Where can I find a good source?
