BTW, I prefer 2.1 myself. I only carry 2.3 with me to give it away.
2.1 works on all machines I've tried it on so far without a hiccup
And the wireless works, tho' sometimes I have to set it up manually.
But I alway check the ifconfig on any machine I use, so I'm used to it.
2.1 also has the advantage that Tor is set up and running on boot, whereas
on 2.2, 2.3, it's not.
