A matrik keyboard somewhere?

But why do they still build keyboards where keys are not lined up in columns. I want an orthogonal matrix keyboard on a small laptop!

Squeeze

The next version of Debian is codenamed Squeeze (not Stretch).

Why do you limit the width?

You complain that you have to put all the stuff on a "very narrow window". It's your fault! Why do you limit the width? I mean current laptops screens are much more wide than high. In a wide browser window, the headlines titles can show in two lines instead of three, or one instead of two, allowing more titles to be seen at a glance, without being forced to scroll down. By limitting _yourself_ to a fixed width, you limit our ability to see more stuff in the browser window.

That said, the new look is really nice.

Names for 9.10 will start with K!

Following Ubuntu rules, the names for version 9.10 will begin with K. Not english native, I only could think of koala or kitty for the animal name (NZ kiwi bird maybe?). But plenty of good stuff with them: Killer Kitty, Kooky Koala, Knobby Koala, Kinky Kitty, Karateka Koala, Kingsize Koala. Pick yours ...
