Thanks, I'll take a look at those links later. As for the thing about v3, whenever I play around with the two versions of it that I have, I always find v3 to be the quirkier one. It's easier to crash and seems somewhat more unstable than v2 (whether or not that's saying a lot is debatable). I tried installing v3 on real hardware several years back (I'd already done this with v2 and went through high school with that on my main computer as the main OS, but that's neither here nor there) and the couple of laptops I installed it on (all were basically parts-bin at that point, so meh) didn't even result in all of the hardware on each being fully-functional. Sure, I'd expected the wireless to not work, but v3 feels (and seems to be all around) a helluva lot more shoddy than v2.
