As I recall, you specified that the "reviews" were *not* to be from
"partisans".  You also requested that the reviewers do fresh installs and
report on the experience.  Not unreasonable, but also not possible for
me.

I've been following the seul project as best I can from the beginning.
After a few months, two things became clear: a) there was an insurmountable
anti-Debian bias and b) the project wasn't going anywhere.  I'm glad to see
renewed signs of life, and I wish you luck.

Indeed.  May I suggest that you pick up a $1.99 Debian CD, install it on a
spare partition, and check it out?
