May I suggest the Numix circle icons set for R9!  If not too late before the release, it would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks for such a fine distro.

Question... is it possible to install Ubuntu apps for version 15 into R8 or R9? Or should we stick to apps for Ubuntu 14.01?

@James McCoy
At first, please confirm whether the package is offered in Debian GNU/Linux.
Many packages will be offered in Debian.

Better be very careful with Ubuntu apps on Debian. It is normally seen as a no can do!

Re: R9 Info - now Debian with Ubuntu apps

Now this WattOS rookie is REALLY confused! So... Ubuntu can run Debian apps but Debian was trouble running Ubuntu apps?   :o

Ubuntu and Debian are separate distributions. Ubuntu repositories base upon Debian ones (sid version). applications might be changed and modified (if for example the system structure is different and for many different reasons). simple the repositories are not compatible. it's not good practice to mixed repos and apps. if you hardly need Ubuntu's apps, you should use just Ubuntu. sometimes older version of Ubuntu application might be used but the newest do not run (for example I'm using powerstat_0.01.20-1~m_amd64.deb (old version m) from Ubuntu).

well, I do not think it's confusing. there are two branches of wattos. the first one (up to 7.5) is based on Ubuntu, the last one - based on Debian. and as I can see the first is a little dormant  :'( but the second - active  :)

cheers,

Hi all...just a quick hit update.

Still motoring along on R9. I am unfortunately traveling and at a low bandwidth hotel for the week, so uploads and testing is limited a bit, but after this week I will be not traveling for 10 days so expect some significant news and info over the next 10 days (some you also will be getting pinged to test a non-public release as before.)

tks....biff

I've been using Microwatt Edition 8 on several older Panasonic Toughbooks since last summer (CF-M34, CF-18, CF-28) and very pleased with the system.  Looking forward to Edition 9 when available.  There are many, many old systems out there and not alot of choices for a minimal system that works well.  Thank you very much for all your efforts.  Best regards!

Hi all...I am not switching back to ubuntu upstream because of the NSA :) - I am an infosec guy professionally so I am not worried about any OS really...its the encryption that makes everyone crazy and with the recent news of most major manufacturers having their HDD firmware compromised (that survives reboots and reformats) its kind of moot.

In any case I wanted to give an update. I have not stopped work. I just have to much :) - So my plan with the stop and retool back to ubuntu puts us at sometime in March for a release. So expect some more news on that shortly. I also have work and travel and another project the last month that got in the way.

If you are interested in some leisure activities my other project is a fun thing...

I have created a game community that caters to the "mature" gamer. Its called greygamer.com

So head on over there and join as I am giving away free games every day for the next week. Also I have live twitch feeds of me playing video games and other cool things.

So follow on twitter @grey2game or go to www.greygamer.com or on twitch at http://www.twitch.tv/playgrey/profile

This project does not stop my wattOS work, just delayed it a bit as I needed some fun time also to break things up, and this fits the bill. Its a brand new thing (literally opened yesterday) - there are windows and linux games as many steam games are cross platform :) - come hang out and play.
