For me I just did a fresh debian stable install - still strugling to
install fluxus though.
on my other mahcine I am using #! (crunchbang) which is quite minimal
and fast! (running mixxx on a eeepc 701!!)
would love to contribute on a flexible loose distro based on debian and
or a centralized information center for computational art / floss art os

Yes indeed, which is precisely what we could do with atm.
And as dope as that looks, tbh my immediate thoughts are with having
a fresh install. Though I'm sure there must be more of us who have
been running Puredyne as our main install and are unsure where to go
next, I'm also presuming that there are others who are also thinking
that any other ready made OS will seem like a step backwards from
what
we've had already. If I'd wanted to have a different distro I would
have shifted to that already!
So the general vibe is with building on debian: which one and how
basic can we get to have that custom feel yet contains enough 'stuff'
to get going?
Obviously going to need a realtime kernel. Are there really decent
benefits from rolling your own to fit your own machine? And again if
so - how?
Personally I would be well chuffed to have a lappy where pretty much
everything is compiled and tweeked for my machine. Not sure how big
the performance gains would be but personal satisfaction-wise it
would
be sizeable.
And then to be able to clone that as a system restore whilst having
learnt how to make custom live-iso's for whatever reason (family,
friends, community, work, etc.) would be a really useful skill to
share.
Onwards eh,

Rather than a project that attempts to create and maintain
a one-size-fits-all distribution I believe the future
for software that supports groups like this is that
they become a knowledge base with a pick-and-mix
set of frequently desired features or configurations
that can move forward independently of the host base
system. This is different from the downstream model
with backporting etc, in that it abandons the attempt to
preserve a definitive version. For 64Studio, Daniel James
and Free Ekanayaka adopted a powerful model based around
PDK (shares some ideas with builders like Broth)
with a concept of different blendable channels.
Another advantage is that the base Debian doesnt have
to be downloaded every time and doesnt need to be hosted
by the team, its just a channel (package repo and rules for
blending). Going back to the root of Debian frees the project
from policies and decisions downstream at Ubuntu.

just because I know it more and like the packaging system. The
most
important aspect of puredyne for me is the real-time kernel
implementation, so I may have to just learn how to roll a linux
distro myself to get the latest RT. I'm working in
Supercollider,
not pd, and I need jack and alsa to work well. I'd be happy to
learn
more about broth, and the intricacies of packaging in general,
and
help where I can.
I also want to go on record thanking Aymeric and the rest of the
team for bringing a great concept to reality and supporting its
development for as long and well as you have. puredyne has
helped me
a lot!

I'm guessing that people are thinking of building on top of a
minimal
debian type thing?
+1 for Debian :)
