As soon as you move to ubuntu, I no longer have a need for pure:dyne as I myself could easially install my particular flavour of ubuntu (as i no doubt will not be entirely satisfied with your choices) and plonk my media apps and realtime patch on top.
Besides, I thoght p:d was all about lightweight-ness, something which ubuntu is not about. if there are actually some solid reasons for why you would want to move to ubuntu (which I'm sure there'll only be a few) then why not add them to your debian distro rather than the other way around (starting with ubuntu and cutting your way around thick and fog) Here would constitute a great reason for an update to p:d... * Remove XFCE, move to Lxde * Get firefox 3.5 in there (it is way faster) * Remove all gnome dependencies including... * Remove Gnome Desktop Manager, replace with SLiM * Add the ubuntu installer app, that will easially handle turning your live distro into a non-live HD based 'normal' OS Wouldn't that be great :D I'd do it if I knew how (in fact, that's why I'm currently not using p:d because I'm trying to work out how to (with no help)) sorry this post sounds like a mega criticism, I really appreciate the work you guys do and have done, and let me tell you this honestly, if it weren't for Pure:dyne I'd never have gotten into linu in the first place, so thank you.
