OCNix Brainstorm - Page 3

Suse Studio has everything and is very easy to use and customize. Phoronix is in one of the repos and so is everything else we might need. KDE, Gnome, LXDE, XFCE, proprietary drivers, the latest kernels, and if it's not in a repo we can use the opensuse build service to build it for us, so adding custom updates after a build is possible. And Suse is just as secure as Debian or Fedora. Also Suse Studio will build Live CD/DVDs (.iso), VMware / VirtualBox / KVM (.vmdk), OVF virtual machine (.ovf), Xen guests, Preload ISOs (.iso), Amazon EC2 images, in 32bit and/or 64bit architectures. They will even host the images. So from a simplicity stand point it makes sense.

Hey, not even sure if any one is still reading this forum, but I just built a custom Ubuntu distro from the Ubuntu Mini Remix using UCK. It took a bit of work but its FULLY customizable (you chroot into the system and setup exactly what you want, then build the iso from that). I setup a basic system w/ LXDE, Ubiquity(installer) and a few other tools and the iso came in at like 300mb. This solution would work well for what OCNix needs to be, and will act as both a live cd/usb system and have the ability to install that live system.

I installed this on a VM and am going to test out another solution called Remastersys once I get a few testing apps installed (Prime95, etc). Btw is there a list of software that needs to be included for this?

Awesome. If anyone wants to do a proof of concept of any of these ideas I'd love to see it.

Sure thing. I don't know what apps need to be installed though. Is there a list somewhere? thumb.gif
Also, I've actually begun forking the remastersys project into my own set of tools/installer, so I'll do the proof of concept with remastersys, but I can switch it over to my tools when I finish them. I'll post some screenshots of the works in progress when i get the iso done so you know what to expect.

I also just started tinkering w/ Customizer. It also seems like it has some really good potential. I think the software was discussed in this thread, but it would also be nice just to have a list of just the 3rd party apps w/out all the fluf (xorg, nano, etc).

What base distro are you using?

Debian Testing. It's plenty stable enough, and you get (fairly) new software in the repositories this way.
Going to do the net-install of it tonight and then start tinkering from there. Probably going to use XFCE since according to my poll i took last week, it's the most popular of the DE/WM's on the forum.

Yea Im working w/ Ubuntu 12.04 mini remix atm. I also think XFCE is the way to go (I was testing w/ LXDE). I built a 330mb iso that is almost at a point where I'd consider showing it off, but it'll take a bit more tweaking.

Well that 330mb kinda bloated to 915mb, lol oops. The ISO boots up in virtualbox just fine, but doesnt want to work w/ my 1gb thumb drive im using for testing, so its back to the drawing board.

i'll do a proof of concept. not very experienced in these thing though, should I just load up debian testing + xfce in virtualbox, add some tools (is there a list of stuff we want?) and take a full disk image right? just a live disk? are we going for cd or dvd size here?
