Yes, it has double the amount of flash, but is also more expensive (I think
I paid $80 or $90 when it was on sale at BestBuy).

Yours has an extra USB port though, which is useful for other purposes
(e.g. running a media server using DLNA from one portable disk, while the
other USB is used for a USB key used for storage of logs, usage data,
...etc.).

So I took the path that reported it definitely worked by

I also found out that dependencies which are broken in the snapshots (which
I am running), are available in the RC3. Posted details in the other email.
