I have been using Paldo since 1.13. It is truly one of the best live distros
using Gnome. I am also a long term user of Slackware. However, my first taste of
linux was Debian.

I would like to suggest inclusion of either Semantik or Kdissert in your packages.
A mind mapper/concept mapper is very useful for academic purposes. Another useful package is Truecrypt. May I suggest inclusion in the packages as well.

Thanks for all the work on Paldo.

I'll look into it ...
