Talk:L/i/nux

We should pick Ubuntu for this. Many of the users here are used to Windows and they won't expect the massive mindfuck that Gentoo can present. Ubuntu looks by far the best one.

• I agree with that dude, Ubuntu would probably be the easiest to use for the average anon. However I support the idea of creating our own distro, but we all know that'll never happen with how disorganized we are and since there doesn't seem to be anyone skilled enough to do it.

For bandwidth issues if we actually finished this we could probably host the distro on rapidshit or something, or if someone's willing to contribute a little jewgold we could buy a dedicated server specifically for this project and maybe W/i/ndows and possibly pay for a little of the hosting by shipping liveCDs to people too lazy to download like some other distro sites do.

New distro

I say we go with creating an entirely new distro for ourselves. Even though it will take a lot more work, the end result will be a lot better than simply remixing an old distro.

openSUSE

This is better than Ubuntu IMO (not just technically, even the usability is now way better - especially for KDE, which looks more like Windows than GNOME does). Just look at susestudio.com, they have a really nice web interface for quick creation of live DVDs/CDs an disk images (even for VMWare). I've got access to an account there, it really rocks the shit. When it's development has gone far enough, they will even provide free hosting of the images, what makes this a perfect solution.

• SUSE is one of the worst distributions around. It is pretty bad to work with and the RPM system sucks so bad. Debian or Ubuntu would be easier to work with.

IRC Clients

Where it mentions that L/i/nux will include "a fuckton of IRC clients", I think it would be better to just take one good one and modify it to include the useful parts from the others. Instead of having one client for chatting, one for spamming, etc., just take the one and include the scripts for the other stuff, or even mode it (like on my old client, I added a bar on the bottom with buttons for "normal mode", "hax mode", "spam mode", and so on, and the buttons would re-organize my windows and options and such to how I liked them for each use). -Red Dragon 004
