When posting on such questions using your debian.org email address, please try to be clear about what "us" you're referring to.

Having looked at the CD label art that was used in the magazine edition, I am concerned that it's not made very obvious for the uninitiated user that this is an unofficial build of sarge. I don't think that it is /clearly/ labelled as unofficial, as we require on our website; it may be labelled "unofficial" in the .disk info, but that's not "clear" for the average user. I don't think it's too much to ask that these concerns be relayed to LinuxMagazin for future images they choose to publish. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. vorlon@debian.org http://www.debian.org/
