I use tsocks with my ssh tunnel; that way the applications using the tunnel don't need to know anything about ports or tunnels. They think they're inside my firewall.

Argh! Bug in version 0.9-11! "Performance mode" wasn't really "performance mode"! Will post a new version in a bit. Benson has suggested a way to lock the processor to the highest speed.

EDIT: When really running in performance mode, OpenOffice only takes 1 minute 10 seconds, instead of 1 minute 40 seconds. Wow. Running the test a second time shaves 20 more seconds off, bringing the start time to 50 seconds. Nice.

You don't need those python packages anymore.

Big Extras-Devel Beta Test
 

OK, loyal beta-testers! I need you for one last big push before I take this to the Big Leagues!

I've uploaded Easy Debian to the Extras-Devel repository (I only managed to break the repository for a few hours in the process, nothing major ;) ). This means I need you to add Extras-Devel to your Application Manager's list of catalogs and update your Easy Debian from there (it should appear in your available updates).

I really, really need you guys to test this for me! Please, someone, run the installer from the package, make sure it works in this version. I've removed some of the binaries used by the installer from my package (tar, bzip2, wget) and made them into dependencies instead.

Here's the info you need to add Extras-Devel to your repos:

Remember that this repository is all experimental and testing stuff. Don't update other packages from here unless you're in the mood to beta test those packages, too!

So that was you, eh? I might have guessed.

Trying the installation now.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian For Everyone! OpenOffice, Firefox 3, Java, AbiWord, IceWM,
 

Please ensure that you are installing 0.9.2, not 0.9...

Sigh, it looks like my first try at 0.9.2 was immediately put into the repository, even though I discovered within minutes that the dependency on 'tar' was being ignored, and I uploaded a replacement depending on 'gnutar' instead... Now we have to wait for another half-hour...

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian For Everyone! OpenOffice, Firefox 3, Java, AbiWord, IceWM,
 

OK, might as well wait 'till 0.9.3 shows up in your list. 0.9.2 isn't showing gnutar as a dependency, even after the update. :(

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian For Everyone! OpenOffice, Firefox 3, Java, AbiWord, IceWM,
 

Installed fine, no complaints this time. (Although clicking through locations for 15 icons might inspire me to complain... :p)

Looks like the packaging is all sorted.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian For Everyone! OpenOffice, Firefox 3, Java, AbiWord, IceWM,
 

Seriously, this bothers me too! But I really don't know a better way... Dumping everything into Extras or leaving out some of the icons didn't seem to be any better...
