yay! new dsl.

john, could you update the main page... it sorely needs it. i think just posting the new screenshot would do.

oh, and moving the latest ver thingy to the top might be a good idea, cuz its quite unnoticeable.

Getting it now. What version of FluxBox does this put us at?

All set up. Seems to be working fine so far. Configured my printer and it works. Did the apt-get update etc etc. I sort of miss Nedit, but I like the new one too. Oh yeah am staying with the stable version in sources.list this time (so far).

Also made myself a different user than damnsmall and it seems to work. Kept damnsmall as a guest login. Nice to be able to protect my files now from guests. Thanks guys.

John, you're a machine with these new releases, I don't know how you manage them so quick! I'm expecting 0.5.2 at least within 10 minutes or so

Thanks, actually expect a 0.5.1.1 very soon there are a couple of minor bugs to fix. 0.5.2 is going to take a little while.

Thanks John, it hasn't been without help.

Hello John,
DSL is a terrific project. In your current site 'notes' for 0.5.1, you list some work Peter Sieg has done on the install script for low RAM systems. Is this the same fix for the Help thread concerning laptop HD installs hanging after a few minutes of loading files that you posted around Dec.1st? Hope so - I couldn't figure out how to implement that needed advice.
Keep up the good work.

As always an awesome update.

I think that the 0.5.x releases should be named 0.8.x, or even 0.9.x or 1.x. They're good enough.
