Our senior developer, Joel Bryan Juliano, is still having the after effects of birth pains, joys and all :-) We'll be implementing this in a R&D branch. We are currently in the process of implementing the forums and repositories. We would love to have input and help from senior developers such as yourselves on these topics :-) Currently, we use GCC with -O3 and target i686 as the LCD for our compilation. >> 2) Desktop environment other than GNOME and KDE, everybody's done it >> already, maybe http://www.humanized.com can give you insight on this. >> > > Humanized's Enso sounds like a dumbed-down M-x butterfly. :P > > Right now, we want to focus on Gnome first and would welcome adding new GUIs once the KahelOS community is already mature and stable. Growing up the distro would be easier then... For those interested on other GUIs, we recommend taking a look at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch-based_Distros. A lot of fine distros are listed there. >> 3) For server deployment, how about Nginx rather than Apache for web server >> (small, fast, secure)? >> On Sat, Sep 12, 2009 at 8:04 PM, meric mara <[email protected]> wrote: >> >>> Kahel OS is not just an Operating System so to speak.

We are, however, also (inline with item 1) pushing for an alternate server edition using alternative application stacks Filipinos are interested in.

Sirs, we would love to meet you guys in person and discuss the potential avenues for KahelOS' steady growth. Our office (aka. HQ) is open anytime for you. You can email us at developers<at>8layertech.com. Uhmm, by the way, we can also meet during SFD Pampanga if it won't hassle you :-) Mabuhay po.
