thanks for that, really willing to make the jump now. I do have some questions though, determining the exact time I'll take the plunge :

- anything we need to do (safe way, I prefer not reflash and have to reinstall close to 100 programs again) if we're running the the power37 kernel ? I've read some people have problems after calling the build-in uninstall option ?

- delivery to the extras-devel repository ? Any ETA for that ?

- plans for including the recent full partition backup/restore script ? Any ETA ?

Anyway thanks for this very nice solution !
