Wolvix Cub Review

Congratulations and thanks a lot for bringing us such a wonderful release.

I'd like to repost here what I said for previous releases.

Wolvix-hunter-1.1.0-RC1 install successfully & running smoothly here. I'm posting right from the new install.

I have to say, I'm smiling with tears in my eyes because this will be the first time that I will have *my own* Linux Live pen-drive — My USB key is small - 256M, yet with Wolvix I can carry as much my favorite tools as possible on it. Becuase only Wolvix allows me to freely customize it as I wish, and customizing Wolvix is extremly easy. I'll stick to a barebone fluxbox and trade eye-candy xfce and other tools with more of my favorite tools.

BTW, I just love the new look of the fluxbox menu. Sooooo cute with icons. Thanks again for bringing us such wonderful release!
