Every time I hold him in my arms the first thing he does is put his back feet up on my hand, then as I try to keep him from falling he puts his front feet on the other hand. This is not a trick I taught him, he trained me LOL.

Mine would probably just leap and run. He's almost 13 years old and doesn't have any front claws. His eye gouging days are behind him. ;)

Good looking dog...

My Chihuahua does that, but I don't think he would do it long enough for us to take a picture. He's got “big dog” syndrome. He's barely six pound but he think big. ::)

Your saline OS is pretty good! I thought I'd download it later, but the Distrowatch criticism of this OS troubled me and I downloaded it the same day. It booted up nicely and installed nicely. I didn't find any problems. It even got updated. As it is most probably one man's hard work, most people don't want to say a good word. I find it quite snippy and very pretty too. OK, someone said that it should've been in the size of a CD. so, take off the Open Office and give a link to OO and if needed to the new LibreOffice. The problem is over.

I think your OS is very good and you have put lot of your sleeping time on its development. If you have time, find a way to trim the fat, like Puppy Linux and Austrumi does. I have feeling Saline OS is going to give a fight for place to Crunchbang. You know, Crunchbang has a lot of nice people in its forum, and I hope this will have a lot of nice people too!

Greetings from Sri Lanka!

Welcome to the OS and the forums. It sounds like you're already having fun with it. ;D

The DistroWatch Weekly review was written after the writer had tried Saline OS 1.0. However, even he admitted that version 1.1 was out by the time the DW Weekly article was published. Thanks to Anthony's hard work, the issues mentioned in the review were already nixed by the 1.1 release. He identified the problems (with a little help from the good people here ;)) and fixed them and quickly released version 1.1.

I knew there was a reason I didn't go to distrowatch much. :o

I don't trust their reviews much....I've read some where, imo, they were just plain off the mark or didn't 'get' something :)

It was mostly a fair review, but some items I can't agree with. You can tell he only skimmed the manual instead of actually reading it (The same as every review I have seen thus far). All and all I can't complain too much about free publicity, though I reserve the right to disagree with him ;)

This line bothers me a bit "While audio worked well, I found video files would not play, nor did the system come with Flash pre-installed" Gnash isn't good enough to be used by most people and Adobe Flash can't be distributed very freely. I will not break licensing agreements and will not encourage others to do so. Then there is the whole patent issue which seems that nobody has a straight answer for (I am pretty sure patent lawyers make it all up as they go). I decided it was best to just leave the questionable codecs off the DVD so people can freely distribute them without worry.

That bug when updating Remastersys was a bit of a fumble.. But, it was an unforeseen upstream issue that I had to work around. In my defense it took me about 15 hours to rebuild my images with fixed scripts (10 hours of that was just uploading them to the web server).

I am not sure why the installer gets so much hate though it is a mighty fine installer I think. All you gotta learn is to use Gparted, knowledge that if you plan to use Linux for any length of time WILL come in handy sooner or later. Heck when I started using Linux all we had was cfdisk with no documentation on the CD. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fOEE-XPeGA
