Those who have created deb or tar packages to share with other MX users can create a thread in this forum to do that. Also those that request someone to create a package for them, can be posted here.

I'm sure a 32 bit ISO will be available when the process is finalized.
This is essentially an alpha.

Must be hardwired to use featherpad?
there is a mimetype file in the home folder that specifies featherpad as the default. this is part of the desktop-defaults-xfce-mx17 package.

I forget exactly where, maybe under ~/.local

FYI: mx "test" repo is not the same thing as debian testing repo.

Cool, I downloaded Geany, and then I can open a text file via Thunar by choosing Geany.
