Ummmm..... You're pulling our legs right? I'm not gonna spoil the surprise. But since I am who I am. I like it. Not sure if it's the right icon for VL though. |

We have tuxonice? We sure do. Its patched into the kernel, but the hibernate scripts are nowhere to be found... A small insignificant detail noticed in XMMS: the playlist is full of leftover tracks of what appears to be a Reo Speedwagon CD  |

For some reason DHCP seems to be giving me grief. Might be my router, but wasn't a issue before. Each boot I'd run Vasm and reconfigure and I'd get connected. But it wouldn't stick. On boot I'd see the "Setting up basic network" text and it would hang for quite a while, then continue to boot. Setting as static works, and works FAST. We'll see if anyone else notices anything. Not sure that I have the hardware to test other things that have been worked on. It's look'n good. But I always feel like I'm being watched for some reason. |

Some things I've noticed:
1) still this xfce? bug: sometimes clicking the xfce menu item "Exit" does not work.
2) audacious has been replaced with xmms but the jwm and fluxbox menus still show audacious.
3) the jwm menu, main categories, some have icons, some don't. Looks unprofessional that way. I suggest we just remove the icons in those main menu categories...
4) in xfce the panel button at the bottom is for "vasm" - perhaps we should change it to "vasmcc" ??
Users might be interested in these USED memory (excluding buffers) results for the 3 different window managers in VL5.9. This is with only xterm loaded and without "wbar" in fluxbox:
fluxbox: 74592K (with wbar loaded its 78216K)
jwm: 75060K
xfce: 89848K
With xfce it takes 236000K to get the desktop up and loaded. So really, for users not to use swap memory they need to have 256MB of RAM. I'm sure 128MB will work with xfce, but loading OO and/or Firefox will definetely then be using swap. We "might" want to consider this in our "system requirements", because our website currently says "96MB" minimum. This is rather optimistic, IMHO!

Ok, I'm just going to be blunt: I really hate that icon. It doesn't give any branding you would expect from a distro, and it just looks...childish or immature.
