My impression is that Angula is heavily weighted toward music composition and recording and Dyne.bolic emphasizes streaming audio and video. While I'd like to have a minimalistic collection of sound recording and music composition tools -- just enough, say, to record a simple animation sound track -- I'd like to weight the collection predominantly toward the visual/graphic arts. Over the next couple of days I'll try to list some of the packages that I'd like to see in the distribution. Big issue is that I don't yet understand the process of creating a custom disk well enough. I'll be working on that. But, if it's just a process of substituting package names in a file, then an existing package like Agnula might be well worth studying. Second issue is that, for the audience I'm envisioning, the technical issues of loading the software, setting up user accounts, configuring network and peripherals -- printer, scanner, graphics tablet, etc. -- must be reduced to simplest possible procedures. These, I know, are issues for all of Debian. But maybe this project can lend them impetus. Many thanks, Lloyd -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
