Thanks for the discussion. It brings up the status of ximian gnome. Does this have exactly the same licensing as Debian? Also, does anyone know if there is a bug report list for ximian? As I posted last night, the dist-upgrade apparently removed the keyboard on my laptop (Acer 342T). While the mouse works, the keyboard doesn't. This seems to be a fairly important bug. Should I submit it to the Debian bug tracking system also? Art Edwards
