    My 2 cents on a 64bit edition: I would use both 64bit on my main computer and 32bit on most of those I give away as those are in the 5 - 10 year old category.

WattOS is perfect for this as it is fast and has access to all the software that most people need thanks to Ubuntu. I just finished overhauling another computer and am hoping R6 comes out before I give it away. Keep up the excellent work.

I did three installs last month and setting the defaults was one extra step after each. I don't know how easy/hard having these preset would be as I'm more of a hardware person then software.

    One other thought I had was marking it as WattOS R6 LTS as this might interest people.

Even better would be an option to choose between a couple of options during install as browsers (and music players) tend to be personal preference over performance. A couple of other suggestions would be: An xfce4/openbox version as these combine to create a nice desktop environment and a web install iso version so I can use my tiny 256MB usb stick for installations. Since this is my first post I would like to add that I fix old "broken" computers and give them to people who have limited needs (web browsing and word processing). WattOS was my distro of choice for the last two I gave away and I haven't heard any complaints.  less
