If we > were to find something of this calibur wouldn't it fit our needs ? if we where to find any method by which one can download arabbix core files and add few files beside them to get a new customized and branded distro without even needing to unpack the arabbix files that would be great yes. at the moment only morphix and apparently the linux-live scripts do that, morphix scripts are tied to the morphix base which I'm worried is moving too slowly. if you find a distro that took over the morphix scripts then yes it would be a good candidate. or we can look deeper in the linux-live thing, and use any distro under it, this will involve more work though. IMO the more work it involves the less sustainable the project will be. cheers, Alaa -- http://www.manalaa.net ultimate_answer_t deep_thought(void) { sleep(years2secs(7500000)); return 42; }
