Jamie & Joe,

Just wanted to say thanks for the great work.  The UI appearance really 
has jumped to a higher level of professional quality.  I like the choice 
of colors and the overall layout changes.  It's getting easier to 
introduce new users to the system because it both feels more inviting 
and is getting easier to intuitively realize how something is done.  The 
help links, where available, really are helpful.

Having said that...

Joe,

I would like to point out only two things, that seemed out of place to 
me, on the "System Information" page.
I feel like the " Virtual memory" status bar under the "System" section 
might be placed under the other two status bars on the right.  The 
slight loss of vertical space would be worth the visual balance it would 
gain.
The "stop.png" image used for the "Action" links under "Status" section 
immediately make me think "Delete", until I am reassured by the pop-up " 
Stop 'action name' ".  It seems to me that something more like the 
"stock_quit.png" image would be more visually appropriate for shutting 
anything down and the "stop.png" image would be more visually 
appropriate for deleting something.  These two things really are the 
only things that made me have to "think" when I saw the new UI, which 
means you have done good!

Jamie,

Each time you announce an upgrade I get some of the pieces, but not all 
via apt.

I have had this in my sources.list all along, but am only seeing some 
virtualmin package updates, not webmin or virtualmin itself.  I am using 
Debian 4 installed with your script.
deb http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/debian/ virtualmin-etch main

I found the following entry in an email from you but still don't get the 
missing package updates from it.
deb http://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge contrib

Is there a source list entry that will give me all the updates?  Should 
I just use the webmin configuration's upgrade feature?  Or just download 
and install directly? If there is a page with all these answer on your 
site, please give me the link as I may have blindly overlooked it.

Either way...

Thanks,
Richard Shebora
