-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi
I just received my FR and I have installed 2008.8 and now Debian. I installed vfat/ext. No problem during the installation :) The interface is very very nice, the only problem I have is that when I try to launch the dialed, the phone freeze for two minutes! :) I installed aptitude so I will keep my system (eh... phone) updated. Keep up this great work!
