I'm rsyncing beta2 as I write this.  In the meantime the only things I
found with the alpha (in the limited testing I had time for) were sound
issues and getting acrobat.

Sound:

nasd doesn't seem to work
esd works with xmms but not with realplayer.  With Realplayer 8
I was able to set which sound driver to use (native/oss/esd) on the
performance tab of the preference window.  With Realplayer 10 that
option seems to be missing.  I'm wondering if setting up the transport
under GStreamer might help?  I seem to remember having to do that for
Rhythmbox.

Acrobat:

The first couple of times I tried the install script it choked on
"Testing package set/Solving RPM interdependancies".  On the third
attempt, or perhaps the fourth, it completed the task and installed the
reader.

Other than that the install went well.  I will install beta2 and report
any changes to these two problems.
