Zephyroth 10.5.2 Rev.2

Author Update #1 @WinLinMac01 2008-04-16

Zephyorth and Leo4All works just fine and plays flawlessly with my hardware, except for the system clock issue in my tri-boot setup in my AMD system you know. =) Kudos to Zephyroth & Eddie11c.

Kalway is a bit too choppy for me, especially since it appears he modified some of the retail sections of the DVD.

Field Note #1 @YamatoHD 2008-04-16

hehe, tried leo4all, doesnt work with me, so i definately vote for zephiroth

Field Note #2 @R0GUE 2008-04-16

I voted for Zeph's as it plays the nicest with my hardware

Field Note #3 @Snow 2008-04-16

As things have been working out for me with all the Leopard releases for AMD?

NONE!

Sorry

Field Note #4 @Firewalk 2008-04-16

Zephyroth 10.5.2 rev 1 for me, none of the others seem to like my sb600 690g chipset.

Field Note #5 @Puttabong 2008-04-16

Zephyroth 10.5.1 Rev.2 Internal Beta -> forever! Updated to 10.5.2 by eddie's updater

This system and zeph's release play very well together, I never experienced a crash, freeze or error! Rock solid.

Field Note #6 @ToroLoco 2008-04-16

Zephyroth also for me, since the other distros don't work with my hardware.

Field Note #7 @ka911 2008-04-16

ha ha, this is what we will talk about until the 10.5.3 release and start all over again
anyway I like Zephyroth because its clean with out any change in the layout
but right now I'm running Kalway 10.5.2, its out I have not test everythign any what its the best set for my sys

Field Note #8 @bhast2 2008-04-17

Kalway's works best with my system
Zephyroth worked good but every now and than i would get issues with programs
no issues with Kalway's release

Field Note #9 @xx66stangxx 2008-04-17

Zephyroth works
Leo4All works
Kalyway works
JaS haven't tried

overall I like Zephyroth's the most, then leo4All, then Kalyway. I might change my mind however because I haven't had that much time to play with Leo4Allv2
