Updates:
Moving Adonis Linux to Testing from Stable. No reason to use the Stable packages, there too old and break everything.

Started a 'Buntu based distro. Working on getting it stripped and rebuilding it the proper way. You know, with out all that bloat.

New images should be out this weekend. Adonis wont see many changes, anyone currently using can just leave it as is.

I'll write up some instructions on several ways to work with a flashdrive when I get the chance, to avoid any future problems.

Hey mate. Is 0.2.0/0.3.0 the latest builds? When you click the Adonis Linux link in your sig it takes you to a 0.2.0 download.

It just takes you to sourceforge, and yeah, 0.3.0 is the latest build.

To slip: just read my post and download it from sourceforge. Though, if it's your first time using linux, I really wouldn't suggest it.

He means his distro. It's still in the early stages of development and isn't very user-friendly. Especially to those who have never really used Linux at all.

I'm starting to use a collage grade 3-d graphics programm and I never used it before. I might be wrong, but I think I can do it.

The main 0.3.0 "Adonis" build is being brought up to 0.5.0 this week. Did a full update and reworked somethings. Applied a lot of bug fixes, and removed some old software. Going to go through the list of installed packages a couple more times, remove uneeded stuff, test it again and upload it this weekend.

The other build "Aurora" is being tried out in multiple forms. A ubuntu minimal build up just isn't working, so i'm going to try it via ubuntu server, as well as go back to my old favorite debian, since that Cinnamon (my chosen desktop-environment) has been released to the stable repos finally, and should see no issues. If that's the case, Aurora will also be debian based, unless I see fit otherwise.

From now on, "Adonis" will refer to the testing release. It will slowly be replaced with code of my own writing, until ot reaches a point that I get something worth releasing that is independent of debian altogether. (This will likely take years, as a fyi)

"Aurora" will be a minmal-esqe distro aimed at the novice user (CD & DVD versions). It will have long term support and will be staying on it's current repo indefinitely unless something significant changes.

Adonis 0.5.0 will be out this weekend.
Aurora 0.0.1 will likely be out this weekend, but only in a downloadable VM form.

You are the worst advertiser ever. :p
If a guy wants to try out your OS let him. :good:
Atleast you shouldn't say things like that about your OS, since you will find plenty of other people who will do it for you.

But I agree with you,one should try it only if you have some linux CLI experience. :D

He can change the DE to Gnome 2 on your OS right? If yes, then he shouldn't have any problem.And just some FSTAB modifications, or straight away using nautilus as a file manager.

Collage???
And believe me something with a GUI is way easier to figure out compared to CLI, and on Linux a lot of work gets done quicker and easily if you use CLI, like I myself do not even prefer using a mouse when on Linux.

I'd rather people who don't have linux experience try the new distro I'm working on.
Just finished themeing for the most part. A bit more work to do.
Then some more package management.

Getting somewhere. :) Can't decide whether I want to install conky or not.

Do include netbeans or eclipse. What will you use as a file manager? Thunar I guess.Do include Conky.
Also one modification I would suggest, I don't know whether this is an FSTAB modification or nauilus thing, but when I put Ubuntu 10.04 on my system, it detects all my windows partitions automatically and mounts them without me having to specify the device id or append anything in fstab, but thunar does not do that. But it makes using a distro for newbies more convinient.
Which Kernel version are you using?
