Remaster Edition

[charlie85254]

I want to announce that after Feisty is final and the medical edition is out we will be producing a remaster edition made for people who wish to create thier own remaster of Ubuntu either for personal use or to produce a distribution. It will have some tools preinstalled that are necessary to create a remaster such as remastersys. It will also be reduced in size in comparison to the official Ubuntu Feisty release.

We have also become quite proficient at remastering Ubuntu and will freely share the information on how to do it with any curious parties either here or in the LFC forums. I am also personally in the process of writing a how to dealing with the remastering of Ubuntu that will give a step by step how to.

I sincerely hope people will find this a useful contribution to the Ubuntu community.

My personal opinion -- should it count ;) -- great idea.
Way to go Charlie! Look forward to seeing your HOWTO.

I do like this idea.

I might create a distro just for something to do, lol.

Charlie, looking forward to it. I was thinking of following your lead, and doing a Remaster for the Financial community, but have no idea where to start. Your how-to would be invaluable!

That's exactly the kind of situation we want to help out with. My first suggestion to you is to find the software you will utilize. Honestly that's one of the hardest parts. If it happens to be in the Ubuntu repos it will make your job easier. It's still possible if they are not however.

Aye. This is a big problem with our release which will likely take a long time just for this reason. You see, a lot of our work depends on the development of GNUmed and other Debian-Med software, ALL of which are currently in various degrees of development.

Luckily, our TRUE final won't be released at least until the next Ubuntu LTS is released, which should be another year or so. That gives us some breatheing space and lets us flesh out other aspects of our project like educational packages and online references.

There should be plenty of financial packages in the repos, though. I don't think you'll have much trouble finding the basics at least. It's probably the 'informational' and 'educational' packages you'll have the most trouble rounding up.

My god. You couldn't have timed this better. I'm planning on doing this exact thing for a side project of mine. I'll be watching this thread.

(Oh, and if you didn't get the inference here, great idea)

Is there a distro with beryl installed by default?

Yes, at least 4 that I know of, there are probably more out there:

1. Sabayon (The official Beryl distro)
2. Knoppix (A default Beryl distro)

(and two Ubuntu derivatives)

3. Uberyl
4. Yamefa

Official Distributions

The official Beryl distro, offers beryl installed by default.
Sabayon

http://www.beryl-project.org/images/distros/sabayon.png (http://sabayonlinux.org/)
>Performance, Versatility, Stability
With a heavily modified make.conf to ensure that Sabayon runs at the highest speed possible on newer computer hardware and fast on semi-older hardware Sabayon delivers some of the best performance in the Linux world today. Sabayon has also compiled the kernel to run well against many available architectures while still leaving the ability to change anything at your desire. With Sabayon it is possible to boot up with Beryl, to have Beryl automatically setup and installed, or to boot with gentoo legacy. Being built upon the strengths of Gentoo, Sabayon provides a rock solid distribution that stays smooth even under the extreme loads.



Default Distributions

These distibutions offers Beryl installed by default or as an option on first boot.
Knoppix

http://www.beryl-project.org/images/distros/knoppix.png (http://www.knoppix.net/)
>Live Linux on a CD
KNOPPIX is a bootable CD or DVD with a collection of GNU/Linux software, automatic hardware detection, and support for many graphics cards, sound cards, SCSI and USB devices and other peripherals. KNOPPIX can be used as a productive Linux desktop, educational CD, rescue system, or adapted and used as a platform for commercial software product demos. It is not necessary to install anything on a hard disk. Due to on-the-fly decompression, the CD can have up to 2 GB of executable software installed on it. (over 8 GB on the DVD "Maxi" edition).http://www.beryl-project.org/distros.php

there is also 2 Ubuntu derivatives that have Beryl installed by default:
