Great news from the Linux front! Debian has launched their newest invention/toy, the screenshot repository, which you can access on screenshots.debian.net.
This new database is to provide screenshots (duh!) of all the applications in their packages repository. Before installing you will now be able to see how an application will look before you actually install it. Even more impressive (to me at least), is that they allow anyone to upload screens, which of course provides a lot better view of a possible application-look.
Personally, I’m super-enthusiastic about this. I can’t seem to stop browsing all the screens, and while I’m currently running Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex at home myself, this makes me want to migrate to pure Debian (and I think I will since Intrepid has been kind of troublesome lately 
).
As usual, Debian has done a stellar job on this one, and this is definetely worth checking out!
