Hello,
thank's for your hard work. :) I gave it a try today. Installation
(into a clean chroot) was unproblematic. While I didn't test Skype 
or Flash I can confirm that several Linux games are now running out
of the box without manual upgrading of libraries like libstdc++ or
libc. 

Regards,
Yamagi
