User Feedback :: New DSL Theme/Icon Contest



It's like a DamnSmall Ubuntuish theme!  :D
I like Kent's new theme. It makes me think that maybe we should name our releases like the big boy's do! If we chose this theme then the release could be called the Ubuntuette release. Kinda like mocking the other big distros with our  -ette series. You know, Ubuntu has screen backgrounds mocking the other releases. Did you see them on Distrowatch last week. Some were pretty funny.
I know, we might be ruffling some "feathers" if we did this.
Messing around with my music & games..

The Bosstones RULE!

Now back to your regularly scheduled theme/icon contest.
I like jesseakc's bird with the back pocket. What about an illustration of a pert penguin! (female.)

I like the tree&moon. I like it's dark batmanesque hues. I think it's a good image that goes with classy crafted quality DSL.
I like bizcard, like it's a bizcard shapeshifting into a pendrive. Great.
I like minimal as it's even wear on my monitor & I'm a particular photographer.

I'm a slightly green newbie to Linux.
1st. things I wanted to do with DSL.
Remove unwanted icons.
Customise desktop background (image,) for the fun of it.
Install xvkbd (quite useful for grabbing a particular character.)

Intend to install a battery monitor.
Would love to have just one (or 3,) (i.e., minimum K,) screensaver (Squiral, or other definitive low cpu load?)
I suppose I've missed something or 3.

Dillo is FANTASTIC, but Firefox is MASSIVE (correct words&pictures&layout, nuff said.)

All I do now in XP is burn cd's, play DVD's, edit video.
Correction, now I burn cd's with cdrecord. Get a hard copy of man cdrecord. cdrecord is BLOODY BRILLIANT.
No doubt I'll be switching to Xine? (in DSL,) I guess. (can't fault WinDvd 4 mind.)
Intend to persue video editing in Knoppix 4.0 Light.

I see roberts cherishes media/press reviews of DSL.
I shall endeavour to keep a strict eye on the British press.

Don't see what the big deal is with damn, Latin, damnum - loss.

Please bear with me on this one;
There's no dates on the changelog but I guess the version change may be slightly erratic (NOT a criticism.) Maybe I'm wrong.
I Wonder if there's potentially great benefit to Regular change (i.e., like Redhat, new distro each spring & autumn,

Microsoft is autumn I think?)
I wonder if regularity would manifest in greater media/press, and perhaps other benefits that I cannot as yet see to

consider.
Even if the new version was only something minor. Clearly nothing is minor in 50mb. 3 or 5 new features.

I hope y'all catch my gist on that one, hope there's something in there to think about/consider/discuss.

Best Wishes andyp.
