I have successfully installed SoaS on USB and booted on my laptop. After 15 mins the screen goes blank, perhaps for power savings, and I cannot get it to come back on. Even if I reboot, once I get into sugar the screen is blanked out. Does anyone have an idea or hint where I can debug this? I was

I agree that we should drop freeform, and choose one, iconic, layout. Then we could plan for easy searching - using tags, names, or recentness - which greyed out the unselected apps. If we did this, my vote would be: ring up to 16 activities, then a single (non-sunflower) spiral. On Thu, Mar 12,

I think it would be a good idea to call a design meeting to hash out the pros and cons of both views, freeform and ring (ring working only in conjunction with favorites, which we know is it's current limitation). We could also discuss a possible third view, but then I believe it is important that
