I'd start with 1.5ALPHA_2 or even wait for the 1.5BETA release (should be
there soon, I believe).  The 1.5 release has a number of
enhancements/fixes/etc... for the tadpole, IIRC.  Although 1.4.2 does run
on the tadpole, I've heard it's not as smooth as it could be.

This is all second hand info, tho - I'm not lucky enough to own a tadpole,
so I can't speak from experience, but just from lurking on this list ;-)

Hope this helps,

-Jon
