This is my first message on this list, so I introduce myself: (I'm a french man with a very poor english, my apologize) I began with Linux in the middle of the 90's , just before 1.0 kernel version. As distrib I've used Slakware. For personals reasons, I stopped any computing activities until last year, when I discovered OpenMoko phone. After I bought it, to flash it, to develop, ..., I heard about a free (as freedom) netbook: Lemote Yeeloong. This is with it I'm writing to you. I've tested Debian, ok, but too sophisticated for me, gNewSense, ok, but after more and more difficulties with it, I uninstalled everything to begin again of zero and I noticed that the installer was crashed. And because I'm not very happy with gNewSense, Ubuntu-philosophy, I would like to test ArchLinux-Libre, kiss philosophy! And for 1 month I'm using Parabola (parabola-mips64el-20120304) I'm very happy with it. I have not used yet testing packages, only base, libre, community and some compiled software myself, like dfu-util to flash FreeRunner and xbboot+usbboot for the Ben-NanoNote. Now, I'm also a FSFE-Fellower (1 week!) I would so thanks you all for having made ParabolaGnu as it is! And now I would want to contribute to make it better, known, ...

Nice to make your acquaintance, I don't use testing and wouldn't recommend it unless I was doing exactly that: testing packages, debugging them and getting them ready for the main repositories (repos).
