I like it.  Feels pretty fast, and since I've only had experience of 3.3.6pre1 (having a C860) its much more stable. I do miss the speed of X11 though.

The only thing I can fault is that I wish I could resize the root and home. I've tried doing this manually, but it seems that OZ re-sets them on boot.

Also, the right shift key is STILL not a shift key.

I would LOVE    to be able to use 3.5.1 on my 750. BUT    with the constant power glitches and issues installing the irongeek list of tools it is not possible   . Maybe when it gets to 3.5.2. Until then I have gone back to 3.3.6.

Funnily enough I have both of these cards.

I'll take a look tomorrow and see what I can find.

heh you have both of those nice coincidence. what kind of gps unit do you have and what all do you use it for with your z? i have been thinkin about gettin a gps.

oh and what do you use your 5500 for ever since getting my 860 its been pretty much collecting dust untill couple days ago when i dustedit off to check how 3.5.1 worked on it. other than that its been sitting untouched for several months.

5500 has been running GPE for testing purposes while the 750 runs Opie.

GPS hasn't seen much service for a while, but I was part way through writing a speed camera warning program - you can get cvs files of speed camera locations (for the UK) on the web, I was going to get my Z to warn me when I was approaching one. This has been on the backburner for a while though as I'm trying to finish my PhD write-up.
