I installed 7.0.4 on a computer for someone that constantly compromises
their computer (Win XP and all security/patches and AV and even
FireFox), but the Lexmark Printer/Scanner/Fax was not supported, in fact
Most Lexmark printers are not supported.
Someone suggested I try 7.10, and I downloaded it to ISO and then trued
to update, so I put the CD in and booted from it, went though the
prompts and was never told that it was going to wipe the drive - well,
it wiped all that I had did, but it's running.
I think 7.10 is faster than 7.0.4 was, but it's still just a toy for the
desktop.
