^make sure it is LSB(Linux Standard Base) Compliant.as to @exx's query in some other post Linux distros are majority,follows LSB.and with Linux Foundation,I hope the sync will be higher :)

Re: Linux Ghandigiri - Invitations for Everyone!

yeah :). that seems to be a nice start . . the only hinderance here is my lack of Linux knowledge . . :-(. but other Linux guys are experts , so that will get solved out . and regarding distribution digit can take care , i guess :)

just an idea .
with mac4lin , all media codec , drivers , so 3d straight away . what do you guys feel , is it possible ?

yes, we can call it the LinuxG. G for Ghandigiri. G for Gnome. G for Great. G for GNU. and most importantly G for Gautham:D. I can help with the distro building process. I am good at checklisting, theming, package consolidation, etc.

W can add support for English, Indian Languages, Some Europian Languages, and Sanskrit(for novelity).

Infra's Mac4Lin can be made the default theme. Human and Clearlooks as extras. My Win4Lin can be made the alternate theme. The other BlackBuntu theme and Ubuntu Studio theme can also be included.

We can have another version that looks just like Windows XP and is based on Xfce/Xubuntu(real easy to make THAT one look like its biggest competition)

I think I will start with using the Live CD creator and UCK.

Re: Linux Ghandigiri - Invitations for Everyone!

if so, make ur distro's "official" support time as a week :p reason:u ppl will forget this project later.no one is gonna care after a day or two!
I'll suggest those new distro wannabe's try Linux From Scratch or remaster known distros customizing as with ur mind.

Though,I'll be delighted to see a custom distro rolled out with a "new" package management system :p ie,no apt,yum,dpkg,rpm,tbz et al.:D

@Gautham
G for gagan too ;). I am also willing to take part in this. It sounds interesting and good.
 
Re: Linux Ghandigiri - Invitations for Everyone!

Just make a customised Ubuntu with all the nessary goodies, games, eye-candy, etc and maybe ask Digit to distribute it for us. If they agree, and the project comes out well, we will all be on cloud nine for sure.

Edit: I may post less now, as I am already in the process of Live CD creation.:D

Re: Linux Ghandigiri - Invitations for Everyone!

why are you such closed minded mate :-(. why worry about the output , let it roll out first , if its a flop or a hit is not in our hands .just look at mac4lin , did he actually know that its gonna be this famous ?
