Random update, been busy sorry for absence smile

Re: Im back.. :)

Hey there ikey!!!

'Course you don't know me, but from what I gather about you, this is goin' to be rather awesome.

Just glancing at the web page gives me chills. I bet this Distro is goin' to be a silver bullet!! Polished, streamline and one that will hit the target. XD

Also, I've got a blog called Soulilous. Coincidence!?!?!

Anyways, I'm not so great at The Linux, but if there's ANYTHING that I can do to help, just let me know!!!

Good look with you project, I'm positive it really is goin' to be grat!! (No pressure then? Hahahaha).

If I make people laugh, that makes me pleasant, right?

What if I make people laugh about unpleasant things?

Grabbing the iso to give it a whirl.

Re: Im back.. :)

@Hinto; please give us a report of your whirl, have been tempted myself, but have made a holy promise
not to take the "whirl/spin" route back into the bottomless abyss of distro hopping.

@ikey; you are forgiven!

@ikey
Boots nice and fast in a VM (VM Player guest)  I see that it uses Gnome 2 and the PAE kernel.
What are your plans for Gnome 3 (are you gonna bag is or use something like Cinnamon?)
Also are you planning 64 bit?
I suppose it's all on your site?
Anyway great job...

Re: Im back.. :)

It's an absolutely gorgeous distro, not overloaded with apps and ikey said he hopes to get it below 700MB as an iso.  Cool.  The only issue I had was that Firefox crashed before it opened -- several times.  This on Alpha 22.  I'm tempted to make a new partition on my 1015PEM once this is a bit more roadworthy but it's worth the look as is.  big_smile

Re: Im back.. :)

Thanks guys! Sorry for late-reply, never got an email hmm
I'm gonna put 64-bit builds up relatively soon.
@hinto: Not too keen on Gnome 3 tbh. I only look for
truly stable stuff to use. I'll shop around before I make
a decision.
@dubois: Glad you like it man, and yeah I have a soft-spot
for having stuff just work, not a fan of the whole "thou shalt
not have non-free magicks" school of thought.
Obviously I'll have to make a *free* ISO for certain countries though.
@ShadeOfHades: glad to see you on my forums dude smile

^Nice
Not too keen on Gnome 3, either.  One of the reasons I landed here.  As always, great work.  I'll install it for "real" when the 64 bit is available.

Re: Im back.. :)

Ok. Gonna be a few weeks before 64-bit I'm afraid.
#32 is now out and I'm stabilising the base.
