Re: [Nautilus-list] Using Eazel Installer for hourly builds? This will help you...

["David Bishop" <david bishop dhs org>]

Were there any plans to start supporting alternative distrobutions before
1.0, i.e., Debian?  Alternatively, is there a place to find updated .debs of
nautilus, preferably in apt-get'able form?

Thanks,
