Hi all, I know this might sound as spam, but it ain't ! I would like to send kudos for a new success of Debian I enjoyed yesterday, when I got the duty to save my girlfriend's old laptop from the evils of MS XP. So I first did a backup of her files and then decided to try the latest Debian Live on a USB key: it worked perfectly; although I had to know if her laptop was i386 or amd64: I would have loved a bi-arch live hd image. But it worked ! Hence kudos to debian-live@l.d.o ! Then, after enjoying that everything was working out-of-the-box (X, wifi, …) I downloaded the debian-installer-launcher, which also worked perfectly (beside one useability bug: #605401). And the installation felt _very_ fast: it took something like 15 minutes to complete the install. Hence kudos to the debian- installer-launcher maintainers ! Then I rebooted and wanted to make sure the box was uptodate, which failed as the /etc/apt/sources.list only contained lines for the "CD". Other than that, everything fine. Then, as my girlfriend is an intensive iPod user, I had to make it at least accessible from Debian; but Rythmbox was already there, doing the job: great ! Hence kudos to Rythmbox and libgpod maintainers ! (Please forward to others if needed !) All-in-all, I am very disappointed by such a success: I had almost nothing to fix nor tweak to get Debian on her machine: almost everything went smooth. Keep up the good job !
