The versions or the numbering of the versions need to be corrected :D 
but never mind that at the moment ;)

Okay, I expected I am not using the latest but still, that experience 
was great. Thanks a lot for that :D

How are you addressing the bugs aside from emails on this list and/or 
IRC maybe?

Why not we use Launchpad for that? reporting bugs to Launchpad, just 
like Ubuntu and the other flavors do?

It would be much better for everyone.

If we can't use Launchpad for whatever reason, I am sure we could use 
something else ..

I am sure you are ;)

No. I am afraid that did not help at all.

It did not accept "-g" so I replaced it with "-G" as it suggested but 
still, that didn't help.

There is no doubt we can do that and there is no doubt you are doing 
that already. ToriOS is between safe hands :D

Who knows? maybe ToriOS could be easier and better than any other system 
.. why not? who expected that we could achieve all that? when I said 
let's have something below 70MB RAM, I told myself after that: "Hey, are 
you crazy?" now, reality says: we have achieved even better :D

It is however will not be done over night. We have no magic stick. It 
will take sometime and we can wait.

You do read my minds :D
While I was away, I used to read some emails whenever possible. I wanted 
to ask you guys to use/include two Browsers instead of one only. 
Luckily, you read my mind and you did it without me asking for it :D haha

However, not really sure about the choice here but I will leave it for 
you. Maybe Firefox (for example) is too much for ToriOS. After all, the 
idea is to build the system by the user so .. no problems unless these 
choices will cause problems/bugs ..

Me? worried? you are kidding, right? :D

I am not worried at all ... but tell you the truth, I can't wait :D

Is there any way that when a bug got fixed or an update available, I can 
just update the system without re-installing and re-downloading the 
whole thing again? or we have not reached that far yet?!

Thanks a lot for everything!
