Ah, I see. :) To keep in the spirit of the intended purpose for this thread, I will say that I would like to help in any way I can. (We'll see how far reaching my skills can help!) I've been a Linux user for years but fairly recent to the Debian style system and not too familiar with the debian package creation process, but I've been an XFce user since the early 4.0.x betas. I've just recently come to the Xubuntu distro and subscribed to the mailing list hoping to get an inside ear on the Lucid release process and hopefully help steer it in a good direction. (As well as helping folk when I can!) - J -- xubuntu-devel mailing list xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel
