42 [GDM](http://projects.gnome.org/gdm/) that he uses on his primary notebook,
44 [Simple Login Manager](http://slim.berlios.de/) that he uses on all of his
45 other machines and which is ideally suited for machines dedicated to AltOS

50 available in the same repository, to install it just install either gdm or
51 slim (both already available in Debian), and then do:
53 apt-get install altusmetrum-themes
57 A preliminary [Mac OS X package](mac/AltosUI.pkg) that is compatible with
58 versions 10.5 "Leopard" and later (including 10.6 "Snow Leopard") is now
59 available for testing.
