Re: (no subject)

I didn't take this as an attack in any way, but you should realize why a great many of us run Debian systems... "Polish," as you put it, isn't on top of the priority list. Neither is "snazz(iness) out of the box." If we want polish and snazzy, we know where to find it. If: good = snazzy, cute
