So, it seems that ED is "stuck" kin old-stable Squeeze for fully working enviromnent (which isn't such a tragic thing, if you use squeeze-backports-sloppy), and almost-fully-working wheezy, for things where we need more security. At least, until Neo900, which is most likely to use mainstream kernel IIRC, so Jessie&future should become available, again.

Considering it, I'm performing some last polishing work on Squeeze image, including making it even more stylus (and even finger, in many cases) friendly, de-bloating (removing software that dupklicated functionality or is obsolete), etc. I even spend quite some time to make portrait support with integrated VKBD more polished, which is funny, as I don't plan to use portrait ED ever, it seems

Of course, if people consider my usability modifications useful (sic!), I could release a tar that, upon extraction, should bring them into Wheezy version, too. No more wheezy images, though as - despite my ever-lasting admiration of sulu for his wonderful work on bringing so nearly complete wheezy experience - I stopped using wheezy alltogether, as the 3 confirmed things that won't work there (chromium, parts of gimp, and [g]parted) are, incidentally, the three things that I use in ED the most

Thanks for your willingness to host images, qole - such stability means a lot in troubles times of dissapearing hosts. I hope you can expect an squeeze-estel-final from me in few days
