hi,

so I tried out dyne:III (the shareit iso)... I was under the impression it
would be based on Debian but it looks like its under Ubuntu/puredyne. Was
this what was meant by Debian (not critical, just curious =)?

also, thought I'd mention I made a USB stick via unetbootin and it worked
beautifully on my desktop. i've always had problems getting distros to work
with no tweaks via unetbootin and an iso.

lastly, where does this (dyne III) deviate from the stock puredyne? i didn't
have much time to check it out in depth, just booted it, started JACK and a
cuople audio apps and got out (btw, 2.6 ms latency, 96000khz, no xruns
without any tweaking).

p.s. it's weird to see that familiar dyne style in a "new" distro (with
correct resolution settings). i'm use to seeing it at 1024x768 on my
1280x800 laptop screen... looks pretty =)
