Hi,
first of all, thank you for this light and pleasant OS.
I am coming from the french official Ubuntu forums, where a project of script named Multiboot (now v. 3) is growing up quickly since 9 months > http://liveusb.info/dotclear/

This project permits to build easily a multiboot USB key.
Actually, ~100 distros are supported but the vfat is essential, and the dev (and mys self, as debris user ^^) would enjoy debris to be includable to his project.

I hope you will give a positive response to our request,
cordially yours,
Kelek

Would be nice to have a small but useble paint/edit tool.

Pinta is a drawing/editing program modeled after Paint.NET. It's goal is to provide a simplified alternative to GIMP for casual users. It is currently early in development.

Stephan,

Is it possible to have the Debris Installer ask whether the computer uses UTC or local time and can set the parameter properly in the /etc/default/rcS file? This has been an issue for several beta versions of Debris if you use it on a machine that dual boots between Windows and Debris.

Only reason I ask is, as I turn more users onto Debris - if they do the install themselves (easy enough task) - they get frustrated with their clock getting messed with as they move between operating systems. It has been really easy to have them change the UTC=yes to UTC=no to fix the issue, but I have to wonder how many just stopped using Debris and never asked me how to fix that?

I know the Ubuntu Alternate installer asks the question, as does their server install (which makes no sense to me - who dual boots their server?) so I know it can be addressed in the install.

Thanks -

Jeff

If the Debris linux team has time, why not create a USB installer of your system like fedora? I would like that.

Pidgin doesn't do anything After it checked my email and I try to open it by clicking on it.

If I go to Appearence preferences -> Visual Effects and change it to one of the 2 other options I get the following error:

Failed to execute child process "compiz" (No such file or directory)
