Simple suggestion for the next distro.

[Avelyn]

In the next release can it only contain executables that are actually needed/work? I dont know how much forum database space has to be wasted by people either trying to run frontend or trying to run the service and for us to tell them to simply run the other file. Granted if they checked the website first before posting, it wouldn't be as much of an issue, but we all know that most newbies don't do that! It would be a lot simpler to just take those files out of the distro until they are needed for everyday use.

Or maybe "hide" them in a sub-folder so the new users don't find them by default.....

Next version will not have the current Front End set up, if Ryan's posts are any indication.

Frontend production was stopped after Beta 34 I believe, It was going to be worked on but razor become popular. Zippy release the source code to somebody and he worked on it some.

The service, well that was a nightmare since day one. But that has been solved since the next version I believe will have an installer. With that said Frontend has been worked on since then and should be better.

If its good enough for the average joe, is yet to be seen. Really thats why alot of the veterians don't suggest it, because the new commers can't figure it out :-)
