Debian Packages Screenshots Repository Launched

Posted by timothy on from the worth-1024-words-a-least dept.

Christoph Haas writes "A picture is worth a thousand words. And thanks to screenshots.debian.net this finally comes true for Debian packages. The new website was launched just a week ago and has already collected screenshots for 740 packages shipping with the Linux distribution — with new uploads pouring in every hour. Debian users can finally get an impression of how an application would look before installing it."

      No, you just didn't let it run all the way through.

  2. How do I like look? by HTH+NE1 · · Score: 4, Funny

    Debian users can finally get an impression of how an application would like look before installing it.

    But what if I want to know what an application would look like, not how it will like look, after it will have been installed?
