And for the love of God, make sure the floor is level. Don't just half ass "meh good enough." Make sure that SOB is level. It'll pay off later.
I used a table saw, whether that's easier for rip cuts or not is debatable.

Thanks for all the replies.
My question on using a mite saw is making the length wise cuts. A mitre can't do that can it? It would be great for the cross cuts obviously and I do have access to one. The lady at Home Depot said to buy a good blade for it though. I was assuming a table saw would be necessary.
As to the levelling, I am having a hard time justifying that extra effort for a basement floor. My other thought is that by the time I lay the vapour barrier and the "underlay" any unevenness will be mitigated. What considerations am I missing? (It is about a 12 year old house and had carpet before.) I have the carpet removed.
Thanks again.
