Good timing -- I've been really torn..
Here is the problem I've seen my Debian (Lenny) vm lock up a several times now -- normally it happens when you just let it sit and come back a while later. I am seriously debating switching to Ubuntu as I haven't seen this issue in my Ubuntu install that I was playing with for the Diablo scratchbox I set up last year....
Do I release it now, knowing that odds are quite good it will continue to lock up randomly for you guys (this is a large download) -- but get it out so that you can play with it; since the lock up is pretty rare (about once-three a day with the vm running 24hrs)
Or do I switch to Ubuntu and hope that it is just some weird problem in the Lenny install I have. I'm leaning on attempting to move it to a Ubuntu install.
---
In the meantime I haven't been "sitting" around doing nothing. I've managed to fix several other oddities and get a script built to install all the QT stuff including the QT Designer (in host) and QT stuff in the scratchbox.
I've also added a script to install all the Python stuff in the scratchbox.
Both the Python and QT are optional scripts that you don't have to run!
I've also managed to figure out how to eliminate almost a gig of stuff out of the VM that comes pre-installed. And figured out a technique to eliminate the apt-cache from filling up space on the primary drive (so that we can keep the initial size down (since compacting the drive doesn't appear to work).
I'm in the process of downloading the Ubuntu cd right now -- I'm headed to the grocery store. I'm seriously leaning towards releasing something stable. But if you would rather have the debian image knowing it will occasionally lock up let me know and I'll try and get it posted.
