Yes, I meant using it on 11.0, upgrade or new install.

I have recently done one 10.3 upgrade, and two new installs. One update 
on a notebook was done, but no network connections possible (neither LAN 
nor WLAN). Went back to parallell installed XP-SP3 for now on the 
laptop. :-(  Will rather try 11.1 on it later I think. On my workstation 
the new parallel installation with 10.3 did not install the grub 
properly, trashing my 10.3 grub entries. Can repair that manually, but I 
have not had time yet. At the office we installed 11.0 successfully on a 
new machine bundled with Vista Premium Home. Seems OK - :-) Will try 
11.0 again at home later.

BTW, I have not once had much success with updates. My last try was a 
slowed down 10.1 system that does all my backups on a network by NFS 
Shares to other systems, using scripts to create *.dar 4 GB chunks on 
the Backup's drives, that then also are copied to a usb external drive 
over night. It remains slow and there were no improvements at all after 
the update. So, I will have to install it from scratch again. :-(
