Hello list,

tried out the snapshot from 02/07/06 yesterday on my test drive (after
finally wiping my last Windows install off it) and must say I'm very
impressed ! Made great strides since sarge and feels much more up to
date - and a lovely splash as well (sorry to be so vain).



Yes, I'd agree, progress is happening, but what happened to the Debian
spiral logo?  It's nowhere to be found other than in the install boot
screen, not even as an alternative wallpaper.

Bring back the red spiral logo!
  



???

The spiral is the default wallpaper in Gnome.  It's debian-background.svg.

Hello list,

tried out the snapshot from 02/07/06 yesterday on my test drive (after
finally wiping my last Windows install off it) and must say I'm very
impressed ! Made great strides since sarge and feels much more up to
date - and a lovely splash as well (sorry to be so vain).

The only problem I noticed in these few hours of testing was that the
network lost my dhcp setup and thus I was unable to connect to the net
and download and fill in the 'after install bugreport' or whatever it's
called.

I'll wait for when it's stable, but it's highly likely that I'll replace
the Breezy Badger on two machines when it's come up to it's end of
support early next year and go back to Debian.

2 thumbs up, and thanks.



Kind Regards,

Another issue: I found the default serif font hard to read.

Sorry to be dense, but what's a Breezy Badger?

It is the name of one of the releases of the Ubuntu distribution. More info 
can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_(Linux_distribution)

I believe it's Ubuntu's latest distribution, based on unstable.

Actually, it could be a few releases back, I haven't kept up with
Ubuntu's naming.
