should aptoncd be included in the CD?

[Rafael Proença]

Hi,

I lead the development of the APTonCD, and my idea, since the starts of the
project is just what you're saying, you got the idea :)
The project is a bit "unique", and we haven't nothing like this yet.

Our first beta released 2006-10-29 works fine, but the final version, with
many improvements and new features, are comming in few weeks.

I wold like to see the APTonCD on the default installation, but if it where
on feisty's universe already would be great, and I'm just working on it.
I've uploaded yesterday the package on REVU:
http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=3581. It is waiting for more review
(If someone that have this power are reading this, please, make us happy :)
).

This package are an snapshot of current subversion repository, but, is so
stable as the beta is (very stable).

Any comments are welcome.

Please, you can get more information about the project on the following
pages:

https://launchpad.net/products/aptoncd
http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/ (The new website will be online on this
weekend).

I hope that the tool will be useful for all Ubuntu users and administrators,
I'd get some feedback.

Thank you, and my best regards.
