I plan on buying 9.1 just do to the fact that it has both the 2.6 kernel and
KDE 3.2 also I want these on disk so I can reinstall easier every time I
experiment and mess up my computer :) Also 9.1 will have both the 32 and 64
bit kernel's so if you want to go 64 bit that would probably be easier for
ya than downloading everything from FTP and that way you can get your
system up quicker.
