Juha,

100% compatible doesn't means equal. You can install the Guadalinex
packages and metapackages into a Ubuntu box with no problems and vice
versa. That's 100% compatible. But Guadalinex have a different list of
applications by default, some extra utilities, some extra doc in
Spanish, some bugs fixed which weren't accepted for a stable version. We
based on Jaunty, but we released a month or so after Jaunty. During
tahat time we were fixing Ubuntu's bugs. Some patches were acepted and
some weren't (because they weren't considerent important enough for
Ubuntu users).

Anyway, that's why Guadalinex != Ubuntu Jaunty but still is 100%
compatible.

And we were shipping X-Chat (which is the default IRC client for GNOME)
and this package has configuration that join the user into an Ubuntu irc
chanel by default. This is an Ubuntu's config for this package, not
ours. We didn't realise this and we didn't know it was going to be a
problem. Mostly because we didn't know that config, we could test all
the specific configs... we were confident on the Ubuntu's configs.

But the problem is there and now we know and you know. Well... as I said
before we'll try to do something else for the next release and the fix
for the issue is quite complicated for the previous one, so what you
propose?

I really don't know (right now) a very good solution. But the problem with the kids is actually because another flavor of Guadalinex: Guadalinex Edu (I'll subscribe the Guadalinex Edu's team to the bug), because is the version installed on the schools.
The good thing is that the PC aren't really upgraded, they (usually) are installed from the scrach (on all the schools), so this could fix the problem (from this point on).

This is the best thing I can tell you right now. I really understand
your concern and I'd like to be able to help more, but I guess we'll
have to wait until the next Guadalinex Edu release.

Guadalinex Edu' team, any thoughs?
