All pretty nice reviews so far, which is great.

As for Cooker, it now has the new beta 3 of KDE 4, mostly. We are looking at backporting it to 2008, but this has some problems which would need to be worked around.

Personally I spent half of yesterday updating our mc package to the latest CVS snapshot (most other distros now carry a CVS snapshot rather than 4.6.1) and updating the entire patch set. That got a bunch of cruft out and should have made the package a lot better, but if it broke anything, feel free to whine. :)

Also, for anyone who's read about the upcoming Club changes and is wondering when their paid Club account will be converted to a Powerpack subscription account and extended (for Silver members) - I've been told this conversion will be done at the end of October.</p></body></html>
