Yeah, I think I'm in the need to buy another HD boat as well.

I've had no problem installing some applications (epic works wonderfully with the configure option) but others have been extremely troublesome. It seems the only safe way to install a new program is through kilk, which as of yet doesn't have a humungous library.

I'm new to linux as well, and the problem seems to be this: many programs need to install themselves to directories stored on the CD (read-only.) Although there's a workaround, they may not survive the reboot. Core files such as libraries are also found on the CD. There's no easy way to update or add to these libraries, and sometimes you need them to help compile.

Anyone got some good websites for HDs?
