As I couldn't get 2.0 to install and I would like to try it out first (I'm kinda new to linux) I would like to be able to install it first and see how well it works and how well I like it before I put down cash for it.
But I do believe that the price is quite reasonable and if I do adopt it long term I will have no problem paying for the cd's.
Thanks!
