Release me!
Dear Beards and Bald-headed Stepchildren,
the base editions of some spins are a few months old already. Usually, thanks to Sid, you can upgrade any older version; though this requires some bandwidth and time. Please vote if you want some spins/bases bumped to a newer snapshot (please also add if you want 32 or 64bit), or if you want a new roast (surprise surprise) or if you want a special edition (your wish is my condom) or if I should get a life (see attached photo).
Thanks for the participation.

Re: Release me!
I have had some problems upgrading recent Trollinger installs, perhaps because the upgrade is so large now and includes the borked lightdm upgrade (although I removed lightdm before the upgrade and still had problems). It is also entirely possible that I did something stupid. In any event, the first upgrade to a new Trollinger install is *big* at this point, so I'd like to see it updated/upgraded on the server. Also maybe Proof, because Trollinger and Proof are the two releases I like best :-) If the distrowatch listing gets any new users, this might help prevent some support questions.

Re: Release me!
^ Got the point, and that was exactly the reason why I opened the poll. Thanks Pidsley. The problems you describe are quite surely related to the gtk-push. I'll see if I can get Trollinger and Proof free of gtk3 and let the user himself bork it :)

Re: Release me!
I voted "other" first to agree with what pidsley said. LXDE and Xfce spins would be nice to be upgraded, plus a Gnome spin is all that I think is missing. So, new LXDE,Xfce and Gnome version. :) I know, I don't ask for much :P
I wonder though if I should have voted Gnome, then explained myself further since Gnome base looks so lonely up there :/
Nevermind about Gnome, I forgot about Bauchspeck :-0

Re: Release me!
Voted LXDE. Both 32 and 64, as I have installs of both.
Having said this, surprises are good! I might actually scale back to Cameltoe, I've taken quite a shine to it. One of these days I might go all cli like DJ and quit this silly X business, haha.

Re: Release me!
Absolutely. TBH I love Cameltoe, it's much better than its name and hasn't get much promo here yet.
Okay, seems LXDE it will be...

Re: Release me!
voted LXDE (albeit after the decision was already made)
I came here as a confirmed XFCE fan, and got converted to LXDE - I find it so much easier to beat into shape.
Only thing that sucks about LXDE for me is the dual monitor wallpaper issue.

Re: Release me!
re: nvidia?
yup.
Wallpaper stretches across both monitors - can't set one for each monitor.
I 'solved' it by the somewhat clunky method of stitching two wallpapers of the required size together.
Not perfect, but it will do :)

Re: Release me!
4eyes, I think this (stitching the two wp's together) is even the 'recommended' method for LXDE. Another option: no wallpaper at all :D Hey, Linux is about choice isn't it ;)

Re: Release me!
I vote for Lxde spins, I'm sticky with it (32bit) and all is ok in dual boot with Antix on a Acer LM 1355 and all is ok.
Please don't forget the 32 bit universe ... :-)

Re: Release me!
LXDE is the clear winner, it is such a nice spin.

Re: Release me!
I'm just sitting here laughing. Now everyone loves LXDE. I told you so. :-)

Re: Release me!
Pidsley, now that we have converted them all - let's push something else. How about Afterstep? :D

Re: Release me!
bacon, did I see you mention that you had some problems with onboard nvdia graphics? Something like this perhaps:
My "new" test machine has a PhenomX4 with onboard nvdia graphics, and GNOME 3.8 has crashed the nouveau driver a couple of times now, on both sid and void. I suppose I should try the nvdia driver.

Re: Release me!
Correct Pids, that's my on-board gfx. Can't tell if Gnome3.8 crashes, as I haven't installed it yet. TBH, this gfx is not even bad for an on-board solution. Can't remember crashes, except of slightly choppy Flash videos in full-screen, maybe.
Anyway, thanks for the finger :)
