It would be much appreciated if a few of you guys could give it a quick whirl before I do the official release

Very nice - I got a high score of 731 on snake . Although there were a couple of random segfaults (I couldn't reproduce any) from applications, the system as a whole seemed very stable. I only tested it on QEMU, but if it's useful to you, I can test it on a couple of real boxes.

Very nice!
I rather enjoyed the icon for the user management. My only complaints after a quick look are: I dont like the console font, and I wish there was easier navigation of the directories in the fs explorer.

Amazing job!

Thanks very much Nick, it would be useful to see any screenshots of stack traces from crashes - there should be a 'details' button on the crash dialog - if you have a writeable (FAT) filesystem on one of your hard disks, it should be possible to screenshot it by running the 'screenshot' program.

piranha - cheers for the compliment. The console font is a visual 'clone' of the Linux xterm 10pt font - I'd be interested to know what anyone else things. Yes, I'd like to add much better functionality to the filsystem browser; just another thing on a very long to-do list!

Sorry, I can't seem to get it to crash again. I'm pretty sure it was a null pointer access from the "gui thread" process when I tried to open Viewer at one point, but that's probably not very useful.
