Hi there!
This is a great idea..
I hope you will have a lot of success!
Hope that gives Ubunutu a more "back-to-the-roots"-feeling, that it don't forget
where it came from, and pay its dues ;o) and also debian get some fresh air in
its packages und perhaps a little bit of the friendliness towards newbies not
only on the technical but also on the human side, etc. :o)
Apropos, a german news website has made a possible logo for you guys, perhaps
you like it? http://www.pro-linux.de/NB2/images/indiv/utnubu.png
Bye
Markus.
PS: I'm not so good at packaging, is there something else to do? :o)
