i actually have my eyes on debian/knoppix with all its hardware detection and mounting application, which work pretty much like that of redhat's kudzo. Afterall, dsl, puppy, feather and other small footprint distro were made with it as the core. as for who would use this distro, it will be targetted not for developers/programmers but for the general users who dont even know there are other applications aside from msword, excel, internet explorer, mirc and yahoo messenger. And guess how many of them are there in existince? basically everyone we know that are not programmers! (including me oftentimes). but anyways, this is just thought. i figured it would be nice if i can have a distro that is conveniently presented according to my preference. i'm sure i'm not the only lazy bone around here.
but seriously, if, for kicks, i go on with this project would you guys help? also i need a mentor who is neither a big eater nor a heavy drinker. kung mahilig ka chicks ok ra klasmeyt ta. any volunteer? as for my qualification, if theres a taker, im not a programmer. i dont do C, PHP, or any programming language that is required. i do a little assembly w/c s required for my kind of interest in micro electronics. but is im sure won't be much of a help on this project. lisod ba? hehehe ----- Original Message ----- From: "hard wyrd" To: "Kagay-Anon Linux Users' Group (KLUG) Mailing List" Subject: Re: [klug] building a usable live cd Date: Fri, 22 Dec 2006 14:35:18 +0800 That is basically what Ubuntu, UbuntuLite, and a swad of other Linux distros are trying to achieve. However a lot of distros also tend to put a lot into the distro (making them bloated) because they do not really have enough inkling on what users need. Do take note that users _are_ picky, hard to please, and have a lot of things on their mind when it comes to what they want on their desktops and users have difficulty in identifying what they _really_ need. So most distros put selected applications that will most likely fill a niche or an itch that users would want. -- _______________________________________________ Search for products and services at: http://search.mail.com Powered by Outblaze
