GREETINGS
First we would like to say thanks for taking interest in our project!
Currently it is in beta so you will find bugs, but should still mostly
be able to use the software as designed. Please note that this project
is being developed for our OS (sourceforge.net/projects/xinix/), but
could work with other distros too - especially ones based on Debian
such as Ubuntu and Linux Mint. While we will continue to port as time
permits, patches are welcomed from the community to help make it work
with a broader range of other Linux distros too. Lastly, to prevent
the duplication of issue tracking in various locations, we would like
to direct you to the following URL to see outstanding items along with
what has been resolved:

To help us identify all the errors that are currently present in our
software so they can be fixed, we need to hear from you! We have
several options available that include phone, email, and forum access.
Also, please feel free to use our wiki to quickly get help on
installation and operation of our various software. And if you see
something is missing or needs further clarification, get in touch!
