In my recent blog: http://blog.360.yahoo.com/prmanalastas?cq=1&p=306
I describe the liveDVD Yebuntu: Programmer's Ubuntu. Here is a short description of the distro (liveDVD): *** start description *** I wanted to create my own Ubuntu distribution, which will satisfy my requirements as a developer/programmer. It should have C, C++, Java, Perl, MySQL, Apache and LAMP, etc. It should also have the manpages, manpages-dev, java-docs, perl-docs, etc. I would not mind if it did not have Eclipse or Netbeans, since I do not want a very big and heavy distribution. Ideally it should fit in one CD, but if it is slightly bigger, it would be acceptable if it had all the above programmer's utilities. Now I came upon the Ubuntu program remastersys, which is ideal for creating such a distro, so I downloaded it, and tried it out. First, I had to unmount my Windows partition under Linux, so that it is not included in the remastering process. The result is my own flavor of Ubuntu, which I now call Yebuntu. Originally, I wanted to call it Devbuntu, or Debuntu, etc. Those names are already taken, but Yebuntu is free, so I decided to use that name instead. You can download a copy of the iso image of Yebuntu from my Ateneo computer science faculty site: http://curry.ateneo.net/~ambo/yebuntu.html P.S. For Ateneo faculty and students, Yebuntu has the PC^2 programming contest management software (server, admin, team, judge, scoreboard), which is ready to run after editing the config files in /etc/pc2/. The server and clients can be run by issuing the following commands in the /usr/lib/pc2/ directory: sudo ./pc2server (on the server machine) sudo ./pc2team (on the contestant machine) *** end description *** _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
