Hi Alphens,

Dear Snowlinux - Just to let you that that OpenDNS blocked your site (link from Distrowatch) as a suspect phishing site. I have sent them a message syaing it isn't, but you might want to follow up further.

Cannot install on IBM R40 which is non-pae. This page claims that x86 is sufficient. Isn't Pentium an x86?

Problem was fixed in the irc by just reinstalling flashplugin-nonfree and deleting gnash.

The 32bit version has a few bugs that sadly were not reported in the beta and rc phase. We will work on it and fix those issues.

This distribution still needs some work-quite a bit of work. You cannot install any KDE apps for one, and also one cannot import any saved picture as wall paper. I know I have tried several times. I was disappointed that I could not keep this on my computer. Every thing else works. So back to the drawing board.

I think debian+ E17 can be one of the best combination in the linux world

I have some problem:

Investigation done. We reuploaded the ISO so that it now shows the right (the one that we also have here locally) md5sum.

Investigating currently.
The md5sum you posted can be confirmed at first.
But the local ISO build has a different md5sum.
So the ISO even on the server might be wrong although it seems to pass all tests so far.

On website it is posted Md5sum:
