I've used the live CD twice, both on my boyfriend's hardware.  Granted, 
his desktop is old, but his laptop is relatively new.  Both times I 
bailed around the "partition your hard drive" screen and burned an 
alternate install CD instead because it was so horrible and slow. 

On my own hardware, I've always used the alternate CD.
