Hi Nio,
You are absolutely right.  I will try to get to testing your program as
well, as soon as I can!  I know it is something I sorely needed a few
years earlier!  It would have made everything much easier than it was.
Both of us are working to get some of the major main components as
stable and full featured as we can.  I know we both want things to be
very easy for the user, very clear, and intelligent enough to do the
heavy lifting for the users that don't want too much options and
terminal time, but robust enough to let the user really be able to
tinker with every little aspect.

I think ToriOS is going to be a very fun distro for people to try out. 
It has a 'new' unique installer, and a 'new' unique WM.  And, it will
run on most computers that cannot run a modern OS.


Oh... before I forget, Paul was asking about using JWM as the DE in the
live version of the installer.  I told him that was the plan, and that
you had said you could do this.  I just need to double check that I am
remembering this correctly.  I am almost 100% sure you did say that.  We
can have the full ToriOS (all the default programs, and wallpaper,
theme, etc..) running on the Live version.
