Folks, I am building VM images, USB Images and LiveCD. It is SuSe based and Gnome based. I would not switch to build in any other distro such as debian or slackware for they do not provide anything like susestudio which is the only way I can use my free time to build a distro for us.
SuSe is a mature linux that has been here since forever, not as old as slackware but again, much more friendly. Gnome is the most popular linux desktop, with all the shift of KDE4, it still needs more time to mature and decide on its changes. IceWM, XFCE are all cool and lightweight but we're not building a linux distro, we're build an environment for Rev testing and development that mimics the most common linuces out there and that requires gnome. For example, many new users are ubuntu users and ubuntu comes with gnome. The distro is now twice the size it was since I added some multimedia, network and printing support which requires hundreds of libraries and dependencies. I added those for people want to test their software doing that kind of stuff, if the support is not there then we fail as a linux test and development stuff. The secondary objective of this distro is to push Rev on Linux forward, to get more users testing and demanding fixes. The tertiary objective is to turn more users towards linux, it may not be Mac OS X but it is better than Windows (this is my own linux slogan). The fourth objective is to create a little "RunRev Community Linux" ecosystem and community so that we can give away bottoms and USB live drives on the next conference and gain even more popularity. The fifth objective is unknown at the moment but I am accepting suggestions. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
