Has anyone had any success with this new 64 bit Lubuntu offering? I downloaded it and burned the CD (which checked out good), but when I run the CD (Try Lubuntu) it brings me to a black screen with a blinking cursor and that is all she wrote. I tried all the tricks I knew, but never got past the black screen.

Well I finally got lubuntu to run by pumping F6 at the splash screen and choosing nomodeset.. Seems to work fine now although the graphics are not up to par because the drivers are not loaded I'm sure.
