    Pita...I didn't check all the way through...actually, right now, I'm romancing MEPIS 8.0 Beta 4 (KDE with 2.26.27 Kernel). Nice. I've been waiting on that one for months. It's using 3.5.9 KDE which is fine by me. Installing now. (It's debian based for the newbies)

    Hmmm. I'll have to download Ubuntu 8.10, of course, but I'll also want to get Arch Linux downloaded and try it out...and I need to download a REALLY big dictionary file for coWPAtty, that I finally got working in Ubuntu. :GEEK:

    Ok, I have an idea for a new Linux Team bar... or actually, that should be plural. My idea was to make it so you guys could indicate what your favorite distro is using the bar. Here's two examples of my idea:

    [​IMG]
    nbr-lt-ubuntu1.png | 9.28KB | 275px × 30px
    [​IMG]
    nbr-lt-ubuntu2.png | 9.24KB | 275px × 30px

    They're obviously both for Ubuntu users. If you guys want, you can let me know which distros you'd like to see and provide me with the logo. I'll whip up different versions with the logo embedded. Let me know what you guys think.

    Matt

    I'd like to join. I may not be an expert but I'm not a complete noob either. I hope I can qualify ;)

    I'm in too.
    Been running linux on and off since 97. Since 2004, I've commited myself to it.
    All my tree computers run linux.
    Desktop, laptop run debian testin. The router, a wrtsl54gs run OpenWRT.

    BTW, thanks for the banners, Matt.
