' This is a public repository of screenshots taken from applications contained
|
||||||
|
' in the Debian GNU/Linux distribution and its derivates like Ubuntu. It was
|
||||||
|
' created to help getting an impression of what a certain software will look
|
||||||
|
' like on your desktop before you install it. Everybody can take screenshots and
|
||||||
|
' upload them. Our admin team will just review your changes before they become
|
||||||
|
' publicly visible.

' like Debian or Ubuntu. We are just throwing out packages that are bad
|

' candidates for screenshots like transitional packages, header files or debug
|
||||||
|
' packages. The repositories that we are scanning frequently are:
