That is very exciting!  I'm just firing up rtorrent now to get the 
torrents rolling.

I'm relatively new to the FSF and some of the terminology, so forgive me 
if I misspeak.

I noticed recently that your distro was going to be Debian-based instead 
of Ubuntu-based, and I was psyched to see that.  I tried Trisquel, and 
liked the functionality, but am not too thrilled about it being based 
off of Ubuntu.  I noticed that this version was jumping directly to 
Debian, and signed right up on the mailing list.  I'm excited to see 
what Gnewsense is going to do, and hope to spend more time on your site 
in the future.

Good luck, and nice work!-- George Roberge www.andforthelamb.org Free
