Takyoji | I suppose there's been quite a handful of new distros in the past year | 00:04 |
---|---|---|
Takyoji | All of which look a bit appealing | 00:04 |
Takyoji | There needs to be some type of theming/customization format; so that there isn't all these distros that are just different themes and different packages installed by default.. | 00:16 |
* Takyoji wonders if mini burnable CDs are still sold.. | 08:28 | |
Takyoji | Yay http://www.walmart.com/ip/Memorex-24x-Write-Once-Pocket-CD-R-Spindle-For-Data-50-Disc-Spindle/10730659 | 08:32 |
Takyoji | The annoying thing though is that they're just about the same price as regular discs.. | 08:36 |
Takyoji | I'm trying to think; for secure reasons, should I: have a thin client boot the OS from a CD, but with the web-browser pre-installed; or, have the thin client boot from a CD, but install the web browser automatically on each boot (to ensure the most recent version); or, install the OS to a flash drive and have it update automatically and have a persistent storage? | 08:46 |
Takyoji | since the web browser will be the only point of the distro in the first place; for interacting with an inventory system via a web-based interface. | 08:48 |
Takyoji | Also, I wonder how "hard" it would be to make a distro from relatively nothing. | 09:17 |
Takyoji | Compiling Linux, X11, etc | 09:17 |
kermit | its compiling the list of URLs to the sources that i think would be the hardest part | 19:39 |
