I likely cannot "own" it but if I get a chance I will play around with it. My laptop does not have a cd drive but if I get a chance to play with the other computers we own I will give it a spin. I always wondered about a "conversion" method to convert people from the dark side! :) I wondered if installing dapper with a preseed could also be used for good? On a similar note, one of the ways I install gnewsense on my laptop is to install a Debian sarge minimal install that I keep on my hardrive. Then I change sources.list to gnewsense and install the gnewsense kernel, dist-upgrade. install some base packages and so forth and then just gnome-core and gdm. Works great and isn't quite as 'heavy' as a full gnewsense desktop! Thanks for all the effort and keep up the great work!
