I have installed iPC on my Dell Inspiron 1525 using this guide and it works great.

I have also done some reading on using a Retail disk that I have for 10.5 (I also have a real mac) and wanted to know if there are any advantages of using a Retail disk over a distro like iPC. I see that iPC includes drivers to make the install process easer. I also can find that the only advantage to using a Retail disk is updating is easy. I may be wrong and I hope I am. I want to beleive that using a retail install being that it is more complicated will provide more compatability to software. Am I corrrect that the retail install will provide better compatability?
