pretty functional now, running debian wheezy.<br>
<br>
The DNS issue was related to IPv6 being useless, that's been
disabled.<br>
Graphics issues were resolved by installing AMD's fglrx from their
website.<br>
<br>
I have now had to do this so often that I have added it to the
SOE.<br>
<br>
It is GNOME3, however I would ask that people don't just go and
install every single other desktop environment.<br>
I'll put MATE on it at some point and try and make it the
default, but until then just tolerate the GNOME3.<br>
<br>
KDE people have plenty of other machines to use KDE on, and KDE
and GNOME3 together on one machine creates<br>
some kind of horrible unusable death machine that won't do
anything. Don't put KDE on it.<br>
<br>
It doesn't run ET but I think that's a 32bit thing and not a
"the graphics are fith" thing.<br>

<pre wrap="">So, clownfish had unreadable "sad face on monitor" graphics related errors
and logins to GNOME or KDE or other things wouldn't work.
I decided to install Fedora 20, which went amazingly well.
And then ssh wouldn't work.
And then yum wouldn't work.
And then everything kept freezing.
So, I have installed debian jessie, without the desktop, with the
intention of putting MATE on it. This also went well.
However, DNS isn't working.
I will try and fix this at some point. Due to murasoi exploding and
Fresher Welcomes I kind of got distracted. And now coke run...
But now you know why it doesn't have X or logins or anything.
Feel free to reinstall something else.
Preferably not OpenSUSE...
