I do but it just so happens I have email setup up on another computer :) I would not go so far as calling it a derivative but rather a tweak to the official release. The objective to provide the best experience for new users to showcase the capabilities of ubuntu/linux. The emphasis is 'new users' and it is with that in mind that I would appreciate volunteers to try it out and report their feedback, including applications or packages they would like to see included (or vice-versa removed). Did you have any specific recommendations on which IRC channels or mailing lists to use? Thanks Nick
