Distributing your blog-whinings on overdrive all over the 'Net this Holiday season just isn't going to do it for ya, sorry. Do keep at the bodhi development, though, during the academic break, and remember to post once this gets past the 1st or 2nd beta!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-7940744464027327592010-12-22T09:49:54.731-06:002010-12-22T09:49:54.731-06:00Hi Jeff

Of course, some would say it's poorly integrated, but if it weren't etk-based it wouldn't be very speedy or pretty, now would it?<br /><br />I think your particular spin is certainly interesting and will likely stay around for a while. It certainly got more attention than MoonOS or OpenGEU so far as I've been following these. I think 11 months, while quite a while in FOSS-time, wouldn't be an awfully restrictive time to wait for the addition.<br /><br />That said, I'm grateful for your contribution and commitment to keeping Bodhi recent and reliable.Jackhttp://murderslastcrow.deviantart.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-68362296379429213412010-12-22T00:14:51.512-06:002010-12-22T00:14:51.512-06:00No, I really think L****r cried to Lad about how s...No, I really think L****r cried to Lad about how snarky he thought you were, and Lad listened to him, since he seems to live at the site.

Odd how that works, isn`t it? Also, check out the story on their website about the convo that Ubuntu Satanic Edition had with same about why they weren`t listed when the Christian and Muslim editions were. They were basically told that it was his site and he would do as he wanted.
