i just noticed the Debian logo on the "install Neptune" icon 

[llelectronics]

@tchanabc It is based on Debian testing. We tweaked KDE to be a lot faster than stock upstream KDE. Also notice we have an LXDE version which is more minimalistic and a lot faster.

since zevenos is based on pure debian, i'm guessing you can't install appmenu-qt and indicator-appmenu easily (i.e. without compiling all the ayatana stuff by hand), right?

[llelectronics]

@bamdadkhan plasma-widget-message-indicato­r and appmenu-qt is packaged and in the Neptune repository. indicator-appmenu I don't know need to take a look

[bamdadkhan]

@llelectronics hm.. actually, i'd need plasma-widget-menubar, but i suppose if appmenu-qt is in there, there should be no problem. thank you.

[llelectronics]

@bamdadkhan indicator-appmenu is in & plasma-widget-menubar aswell :)

Compared to the imfamous Ubuntu, is ZevenOS (lastest release) faster and more responsive? From the perceptive of the video, it definitely looks a lot cleaner ;D Because with Unity.. Ubuntu is unusable and unstable, it took the Ubuntu team several months to integrate a way to customize the unity bar where as the Mint team took a couple of weeks or 4 releases to come out with an awesome setting manager and a handful of themes by different artists

@llelectronics thanks. it's nice to see a distro that's not based on ubuntu and still offers the same level of friendliness and integration. awesome work.

[bamdadkhan]

wow, there's a mate version? awesome. i'm downloading this.

[bamdadkhan]

by the way, i'm pleased to see there are ß's in the localisation. i hate it when they substitute them with ss's. :)
