hi quole, first off hope things are better on the job front...the reason I did not want to just take the default is because I want to be able to quickly knock down and reinstall. If I have to uncompress to a 2gb version which takes some time, and then go and uninstall tons of stuff, it would in that case just make sense to use the bigger version. I actually was going to use the bigger version, but I wanted to be able to apt get upgrade and twice it failed after about 2 hours, both times with a reboot of my device. If you recall I am the pain in the *** who wanted to use fedora to learn all the services but it turned out that was not really a ready for prime time arm port. so I am now thinking that debian would be fine, but I don't need any of the multimedia (which I think is what breaks the apt-get upgrade. Anyway if there will be no official quole easy debian I will take a look at the page you linked to. Again thanks for all the great work you have provided for the maemo community.
