Hi and thanks for your quick reply ..

Neither do I.

My only thought about that (from experience) is to build a new clean ISO
for 12.04.5 hoping for that nasty bug to fade away.

I have no idea whether it's a ToriOS issue or Ubuntu issue? we need to
search on Launchpad for any similar bugs or we need to report a new one.

Nio could help us by sharing that issue on the Ubuntu forums maybe!

My one and only objection or let me use a much better phrase ... my one and
only concern is:
We have promised everyone for 2 years that we shall release an Ubuntu based
system and with all the delay (for reasons we know) that happened, we come
and say: "Dear users, you know what? here is Debain version!"

If you as a developer can confirm that would not technically affect
anything whatsoever, then from this very moment you have my final green
light to go ahead with Debian.

So, in that case, 1.0 will only be Debian.

With 2.0, we can have both.

But then again, if and only if technical wise, that would be the same.

No, I see that pointless at the stage we're now.

That's for the next versions. Let's focus on 1.0 at the moment, please ;)
