So far everything is working great for me.

Although I ran into a couple of problems with the booting the install/live cd.

"udevd sysfs attr{}= rules.d/99 -gpsd.rules" this took more then couple of minutes to go away then it continued with the normal start up. A possible fix or lead could be.

Something minor but major to me.. we need gtk-qt-engine for kde4 it's there for kde3 just not 4. It's also called kcm-gtk or kcm-gtk-kde4 (diff distro to distro) (wondering if I can use the kde3 gtk qt engine?)

There is also a small problem with webpages loading slow it take a good 5 sec per page. (not happening with other distros)

Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 02)

Possibly the latest drivers could be added? Though I'm not sure if it's an issue with anyone else.

I've found out the problem with the slow loading of webpages. Disabling Ipv6 did the trick this was done in firefox. about:config in firefox address bar and search ipv6 then toggle to true (disable)
I do find it strange I do not have this setting disabled on other distro's with firefox and everything runs smooth with pages loading quick.
Any idea's why this is?

Maybe your ISP has a slow DNS resolver? To fix the issue in general you can try 2 avenues.

in /etc/resolv.conf add on top of the file

options single-request

This will optimize queries. However you still don't have a local cache running.


Now I never needed to do this so the package isn't as neatly configured as it could be ... .

Run ( as root )
mkdir -p /var/state/nscd /var/db/nscd /var/run/nscd


Download the attached file and save it as /etc/nscd.conf and then run ( as root ) nscd -d . At worst you may need to restart firefox and after that you should see queries started to being cached by nscd.

I tried both suggestions and neither worked for me.

The only thing that worked was creating a file in etc/modprobe.d with the contents
install ipv6 /bin/myispgivesmeheadaches

After that all browsers work right. :D
Thanks for the help
