Wonderful. Would however suggest that if a Norwegian locale is to be offered during installation perhaps make it nb_no rather than nn_no as the former is most used. Or both..

Re Papasot: "However I am not sure about the "no problem" part." Sure, agree. I was referring to desktop use with hardware covered by the codebase. I have had driver problems and such. But it is extremely solid. You don't see the glitches and freezes of other distros, application...
