Hi Lucio, It's working great for me - the improvements make a big difference in usability for the novice. I really like the way it starts up with a very clean screen featuring the Sage logo. And the bigger terminal window and fonts work much better on a high-resolution screen. Two comments and a question:
1. At the screen mentioned above you need to know to right-click. Do you think a small amount of text below the logo on the wallpaper graphic (eg "Right-click for menu") would be helpful? 2. How about two Sage-related menu items: "Sage Command Line" and "Sage Notebook"? I'd think the latter would be easy to add since its just a -notebook switch on the command line? It would probably bring up a terminal window to ask about passwords first, though. I wonder if you can preload the disc with a default password setup so attempts to use the notebook don't ask for it. Nothing is ever going to be saved anyway since it is a LiveCD so I'd guess that right now you'll be asked every time for a password. However, I think there may be some rearrangement of the authentication procedures coming soon, so maybe this should wait until then. 3. I get a very limited "task bar" from Fluxbox. No icons, just a time and a left/right arrow to cycle through the available windows. Is this the intended behavior? I think this is certainly ready for wider use now. Thanks for all the great work putting this together!
