Geoff,

first of all, welcome aboard!


Thanks for the every bug signalled in the installers. Apart from that:

1) thanks also for the "deeveloping light-weight WM" part: it's going
to be one of the most important subsystems for the desktop use of
RULE, so do come in with any suggestion you might have (or contact
that part of me wearing the hat of coordinator for the WM subproject
offlist if think it's better)

2) We have very concrete and important reasons to run linux on old HW,
but RULE has the potential to be cool and trendy too: there is not
that much power difference between a 1995 PC and a 2002 PDA...

Back to work now...(don't forget to insert any relevant AfterStep data
in the application database!)
