Mandriva runs pretty flawlessly and boots FAST. This is the FULL version of Mandriva Free and not some stripped down or dumbed down version. The KDE 4.2 3D desktop effects work, too. The choice between a simplified system like Moblin vs. a full version of Mandriva is still making me question whether Moblin is a better choice. Granted, if they fixed ALL its problems, Moblin would be a great choice: GUI customized for the netbook platform, FASTboot, and a working package manager are strong selling points. If Fastboot achieved its goal, this alone would be worth using Moblin. Five second boot times are a dream we haven’t seen in reality since the days of DOS.

I don't recall off the top of my head which ones, but I had to change the paths in the code to get them to work. I gave up after the third one. ljsm links to libs in paths that should be defunct.

I'm a Gentoo user; I downloaded the perl scripts, installed the (Gentoo) SOAP-Lite package and its dependencies, and voilà! I seem to have a backup of all my posts, including user images and all. (The only brokenness I found is that when I specified -a, it grabbed only memories rather than memories + posts, but without the -a option, I get my posts just fine, and that's what I care about.) I haven't inspected the source, so I don't know how terribly Windows-centric it may be, but it seems to work fine for me. ljsm has “broken libs” — how so?
