I agree. Last time we discussed about this my plan was to get
drag'n'drop ready for bookmarks before the first beta. But if others
feel it's not necessary for the first "public" packaged release there
should be nothing left to do.

As long you remember that the "hardware" raid will not work. You have to
use the Linux software raid.

I guess P5Q is a good choice, it was offered me when I asked for a
reasonable motherboard for Intel dualcore. But it was not in stock so I
bought a Gigabyte which costs much more. Don't know if it has any
real advantage, though it has many minor good features. And the tower is
Antec but Sonata. Graphics is an Nvidia based cheapie.

Too many bugs for me, and the desktop doesn't look very good.
