You're not giving us false hope just to shut us up art you Biff? 
haha... just kidding. 

Sorry if this comment comes up in the wrong box or watever... still learning to use forum... and linux

i won't repeat what others have said, especially on the performance aspect.  That's a main thing in my opinion   i got to know of i3 and love it from wattos, my netbook wor%s much better with it than other WM.  i hope that will stay.  my opinion given    i shifted from wattos to use antix and install i3, but it doesn't have the same 'smoothness' or integration as with wattos - maybe coz i'm jjust a newbi.        i shifted coz of the whole spectre thingy.... maybe again coz i don't really know what i'm doing so got scared and wanted something with patched kernel. . now eagerly await v11.

My sincere thanks to all who made wattos possible.

Lovely.  Makes me want to jump from Microwatt 
However, need to keep as 'lean' as possible on my old netbook.

thanks blaze!  I've tried many distros and have never been as happy with them as microwatt, though mainly due to performance but really the whole package - as i've only got a tiny EeePC Seashell netbook. it's a keeper for me - a big thank you to biff and the whole team.
still new and learning... the most familair aspect of gnu/linux is installation... 

and thanks for your reply to my post.
