Having said that I would also like to say that I not being a programmer or a software engineer am not in a position to contribute .. nor do I have enough money, with a new addition to our family, to donate to your effort. I would request you to please keep this website updated with the latest news and probably set-up a section that allows people to get perhaps a monthly if not fortnightly news letter to keep all #!ers alive and loyal .. another idea could be to run a donation campaign perhaps .. something like “Wikipedia” did a few months back .. with people either donating their services or money .. If you think I can be of any help please do let me know .. would appreciate it. I would like to see this OS grow .. Best, Shiv P.S. Sorry I posted this in the wrong area Hello,

I have always been a faithful Ubuntu user, however I like the idea of trying something new. I use #! on my old IBM computer and am installing it on another older 800mhz computer I got out of someones trash. Much to learn, however since 9.04 is kind of old, I am looking forward to this newer release (even if it's based on Debian and not Ubuntu). Hopefully we'll hear more soon. I keep checking at distrowatch hoping the next alpha or beta release will come up. Hopefully the final release won't be that far off as well. I have been turning more people onto #! lately and we are all in waiting for this next version. Any word on the next Alpha or Beta release?

Ubuntu is great to learn on, but once I have learned the depth of that which is Linux, #! is where I will stay. As long as you have a healthy knowledge of Linux, #! cannot be beat. The latest stable release (based off of Ubuntu 9.04) ran a bit crusty at first, but update to the latest kernel, and everything is smoking. Also, the openbox manager is super customizable. Love it.

(Statler) on my Eee PC 701 after trying six other distros over the last year or so, and I came back to #!, I like it so much more than the others that I'm keeping it on this box. It will be interesting to see how it performs with the Debian code, but it still boots fast, and has been pretty stable for the first 24 hours of use except for an Iceweasel crash during customization. I'll be giving it the acid test by using it to stream music for my broadcast radio show Friday night. Love #! Just re-installed #!
