We have a major bug within aptosid.com forums that is causing problems for new user registrations.

It manifests itself with the following notice:

"Error! An unidentified problem occurred while sending an e-mail message"

Whilst the registration is accepted, it will not allow a new user to login.

Until we are able to fix the issue the temporary solution, for now, is as follows:

Step 1)
With an IRC client:  /join #aptosid

Step 2)
State your issue about registration and be patient, A response from admin could take minutes or hours, depending on time zones.
A member of the admin team will enter into a private conversation (PM /query) to help you.

When aptosid is released, a new set of iso files hit the mirrors making available the latest entry point to the rolling aptosid cycle. The first step is to boot up the system shipped in those iso files and there are numerous ways to do this. I am going to run through the main options with a brief explanation of why and how you might want to use each method. Much of this is covered in the aptosid manual. Some information is new though and not yet covered there while other sections are a more unusual and may never be covered there.
