Another Linux Distro (screenshots)
Firefoxfanphill:
Is this another one of those "I'm leet I hacked linux lolomfg omfg lolroflf hax0r 1337" crap? I mean, are you going to work on it for a week or two then go, ok, I'm bored and walk away?
Can't you go bug fix or submit patches or at least, not release this Linux distribution on the web.
God I hate how their so many of them, it makes people not want to use Linux it seems...
[Sorry For the rather harsh reply]

Harsh? Nah. It's like a dead fish across the face to slap sense into somebody.
Juuuust right.
Bazoukas:
wow. What crawled in your ass people and died?
Let him release it if he wants to.
I am coming to the conclusion that most forums on the net are formed by people who are just too lazy to interact with real people and hide behind a monitor to be e-tough.
Go for it man and fuck these assholes.
I agree with kinatro though. Worry less about the boot screen and worry more about the inner workings
themacuser:
I'm still going on the inner workings. They're not finished yet, unlike the bootscreen. So I haven't posted much here.
I'll get some packages into it and fine-tune it over the next week or so and get it ready for a first alpha.
themacuser:
We use the WindowMaker windowmanger.
Running, with all stuff minimized.
Running X-Chat and Firefox. Works well.
X-Chat is deprecated and may be replaced with irssi depending on what you think.
Emacs has been removed and will be replaced with vi - I was an emacs fan, but I'm switching - once I know how to use vi, it's not all that bad. Damn, why did I learn emacs first!? And emacs is a lot larger.
We also have no filebrowser yet. The root menu works fine. And if it's too big to fit onscreen, you can tear off menus, like you can in blackbox.
Oh, and about the strange background: it's a cracked LCD screen scanned in. It was from digg, a while back. I thought it might fit flying chair, Ballmer might have hit a monitor as well :P
I'll definitely change it when I have a real background. I was just testing with that.
On second thought: thumbnails were added for dialup users... not everyone has broadband.
