We're going to send a mail to them and some of the current Debian mirrors.
If they know Debian (and its everlasting release procedure *grin*), they would
probably like to support a desktop flavour of it.

Ubuntu Linux ships with Project Utopia already, which I believe shows it's

supermount is considered a hack. ervin of Kalyxo is working on a media:/

the latest plan on how to automount stuff though. :-) I'll ask.

Nice to hear that.
