I have been using gNewSense Parkes alpha1 for quite sometime, some of my 
petty observations:


* The system is pretty stable -- it doesn't hang or throw me into 
predicament -- it is stable enough to be usable.


* The boot is blistering fast (compared to gNewSense 2.3). I get this 
"failed" message during the boot (I don't know whether it is critical 
though):

> Loading cpufreq kernel modules...failed

I am using the linux-libre-3.4.4[1] as the kernel that came with 
gNewSense Parkes was not able to recognize my modem.

* When I am connected to the Internet the GNOME notification icon shows 
that there is "no network connection", though I am able to connect to 
the Internet and use it.

* I tried a "apt-get update" today and I get a GPG error that says:

> W: GPG error: http://http.us.debian.org squeeze Release: The following

I have attached the full output of the "apt-get update" command with 
this  mail.

* GNU Emacs doesn't come in the default install (smiles). When I 
installed it, I found that the Emacs Info manual is missing, I think 
this should be because of Debian's DFSG. I'd be good to include the 
documentation in gNewSense Parkes.


That is about it. Thanks for paying heed.
