+Selected the safe options on boot. It loaded the nvidia driver, got the 
+nvidia splash screen and continued on with fully working proprietary 
+goodness (badness??).
+
+Is that the expected behaviour for "safe" boot?
+
+Anyway, just another way to boot, but using nvidia's driver.
+
+Tuxta
+
+PS. Awesome release guys!! Still some small issues like above, but for 
+the first time EVER, I feel I have the perfect distro. Tried many over 
+the years, and there was always something that was missing or spoilt it. 
+Just installed Beta 3 on a work machine to do some opencl programming, 
+and I still can't get the smile off my face!
+
+You should all be very very proud of what you guys have accomplished 
+(and of course all the upstream projects). Can't wait for the final 
+release! If you end up deciding on LTS, it is going straight on our 
+faculties new Cluster!!
