Thanks for your reply, Jaromil, and sorry for my late one :P . Since you
already have being looking at debian's structure, do you found out if it
will be possible to keep the amazing nest and dock features that dyne
currently has? What do you think dyne:bolic would have different from
pure:dyne, beyond the exclusive use of free software? I would love to help,
but am quite limited since I'm no programmer and have litte experience
packaging stuff. But am working on that so I can be more helpful in the near
future.
