Re: Linux Ghandigiri - Invitations for Everyone!
So where is the final package list?
I ask reputed members like Infra, Prakash, Cyrus, mehulved, etc to tell some good programs for each of the catogaries:
1. Multimedia Playback
2. Multimedia/Graphics Editing
3. Fun and Games
4. Eye Candy
5. Compiling, Programming resources
6. Drivers
7. Non free/restricted utilities and essentials like flash, java, acrobat, codecs, etc.
8. Window Managers to be included apart from Gnome
OK, URGENT advice needed:
I am going to be installing Gutsy Gibbon now that my drive is all fine. Please tell me if I should try instead to use a remastered CD for install, as I want to experiment and see how good a reconstructered DVD will be.

Actually, the building process may start quite soon, even within a few days. Expect it before february.

Re: Linux Ghandigiri - Invitations for Everyone!
but the difficult part is to finalise a list of things it must include and things it must not include, which needs a full night's dreaming for something to come up for a dream exploiter like me.

1) Localise documentation - it is as important as localising software
2) Report bugs and file feature requests
3) Write documentation
Also, where are you going to host the distro?
Not to be pessimistic but it's pointless to create more parallel projects just because you can. It's justified if you're doing something path breaking or something that has some chances of offering positive outcomes.
Here you are offering crutches to a child who is learning to walk.
As I suggested earlier, why not some of you good at multimedia work, create some nice content or spread some work under CC licenses in open format, thus promoting open formats.
There are other roles too.

there's so much more I haven't covered as yet
Truem, it will be difficult to circumvent the laws and include proprietory components. There are ways around but require good knowledge of legal system eg. bundling of mp3 decoder in debian without violating DFSG so mp3's can be played out of the box in debian but the same can't be done by ubuntu, fedora, etc cos of for profit organisations beyond their distribution. You see that requires deep knowledge of laws which none of us have.Hitboxx said:

Re: Linux Ghandigiri - Invitations for Everyone!
Well .deb packages for nvidia and ati are available but are developed by open source guys without fully knowing their architecture. So its not a good idea to install these. Better use binary installer provided by nvidia and ATI. I am working on some more easy way to install nvidia/ati driver installation. Once successful ll post it

Re: Linux Ghandigiri - Invitations for Everyone!
How is the binary installer for the driver? Does it detect the card automatically and install the driver or do we have to install the right package? Tell for each of the cases.
