AV Linux 2.0, a Debian Multimedia Distro using LXDE

Hello,

I would just like to thank the development team of LXDE for a terrific, attractive easily customizeable D.E. I am the maintainer of AV Linux a rapidly growing Debian based Multimedia-Centric Distro for Content Creators. I was wondering how I could get on the list of Distros that use LXDE. If anyone is interested in more info about AV Linux please have a look:
http://www.bandshed.net/AVLinux.html

I was very surprised to find out that LXDE works well with Compiz, I know a lot of users avoid such decadent eye-candy but on my system Compiz is only using about 18mb of RAM. Thanks again,

PS, I don't know if you are aware of the Remastersys Distro creation tool, it's developer Tony Brijeski has created a light Distro called Remastersys LXDE Lite and has coded his own Remastersys Control Panel that adds a simple gui yet user-friendly way for people to administrate many common tasks that are not apparent to those new to Linux or light desktops like LXDE, Check it out here:

Remastersys LXDE Lite looks interesing. but control panel seems to be too dependant on the distro to integrate well in other distros.

Actually the Control panel should work with any Debian Lenny LXDE based distro.

First of all thank you for adopting LXDE for AV Linux.

I encourage people not to get too invested in developing system configuration systems off to the side of LXDE, since this is an area that is being actively developed.
