This is a DVD distro. You have 4.7 GIGABYTES here! Put them both on, and Xfce to as well!

But have it default to whatever you like most.

[namegame]

You are leaving out Xfce, with a DVD you could also incude some of the *boxes like fluxbox or openbox.

[MaxIBoy]

Pretty much put everything on that you can think of. If you're only using a few MB over 700 (maximum size of a normal CD,) people aren't going to be happy.


Just don't try to get away with a Blu-Ray distro.

[ryclegman]

Are you able to have all of those interfaces on one cd? I thought there might be different kernels for each?

[BlueSkyNIS]

You could have thousands of different interfaces with only one kernel....

[MaxIBoy]

It is very much against the technical guidelines of Linux to put a GUI in the kernel. That's the kind of thing that makes Windows so unstable.

:lolflag: whoever said putting gui on the kernel?

He did.

with such an amount of space available, chances are that both gtk and qt apps will be present anyway, so why not give as many wm's as possible (fluxbox, openbox, enlightenment, xfce, maybe some of the tiling ones)? people can still use whatever apps they like from the big desktop environments.

i second that. why not be the first(?) distro to include every major DE and window manager. having a choice of DE's upon installation would be awesome. personally i would keep the number of pre-installed apps to a relative minimum. i think there a enough distros already that include every thing plus the kitchen sink. just my $2.

Absolutely, this could stop you from becoming the maker of just another distro, and make it unique. Put every desktop environment on that you can fit. See if you can add an option to the graphical installer (if you have one) to pick which one(s) to install.

OpenSUSE does the same, they provide KDE 3.5, KDE 4.1, Gnome & XFCE all in one DVD, but they don't use the lightweight WM's.

[liquidfunk]

Fluxbox FTW!

[tel93]

XFCE or Openbox.

[RedPandaFox]

Well if they are going to throw in multiple environments, can there not be a way to select the programs installed by default?
Like, I like the look and feel of KDE, but I like to use Gnome apps, but then again, I don't want to be cluttered with all the apps!

Can you put in the installation, say, advanced setup, and choose apps you want and don't want, and have default all of them, including multiple environments.

If I had an OS that automatically did this, based on Debian, I would use that instead of Ubuntu (as my main, I will always keep a duel boot of Ubuntu) and maybe even have some way to have a bunch of drivers (more than usual) on the DVD to automatically install for hardware? Make it simple, with advanced options.

You have the space on a DVD, why not take advantage of that fact?

[Sorivenul]

Lxde!

[darrelljon]

Fluxbox FTW +1! JWM or IceWM too.
