I have to agree with you Paul. I made the move from 7.1 to 7.2
yesterday.
The graphical interface sure made deleting the old partitions and
setting up
a new configuration really easy. It also gave me a chance to set up
ReiserFS so I could see how it performs.
The biggest problems is simply learning the differences (Where is that
feature now?) between KDE2 vs KDE1.
