Maybe i'll try Clearlinux again in the future but i've fallen out of love with it to be honest...

It's ok if your happy to use the standard install but once you go through all the overly complex procedure of setting video drivers , graphics acceleration in apps like firefox and all the media codecs which is still flakey (as some don't work or default to using the CPU instead of the GPU) it just proves to be a pain.
