As part of the quest for useful content, I've been thinking about what software I have on my file server. Much of it is Linux distros, source code for packages I have been tinkering with, images and documentation I've downloaded from the net.
With that I've tried to distill a set of Distros that other people would find useful. The weekend brings an announcement of a new Linux Distro that has finally hit 1.0
Here is the announcement;
The INX team is proud to announce the release of "INX Is Not X", Version 1.0. INX is a "Live CD" distribution of GNU/Linux, derived from Ubuntu 8.04.1 LTS, but using "ubuntu-minimal" and "ubuntu-standard" as a base. It is console only, without any graphical "X" programs. INX is intended as a "tutorial" and introduction to the Bash command line, but is a fully capable, portable GNU/Linux system in its own right. It has a collection of easy-to-use menus, colour themes, easy configuration tools, music (and video on the frame buffer), some games, and several surprises for those who are not aware of what can be done in a console/tty. INX is fun, and not intimidating for console beginners. INX 1.0 also includes new features; you can now set up wireless with the "Ceni" tool from the INX "Net & Web" menu. You can use your mouse with programs like xlinks2, elinks, mc, and the jed text editor. In addition to the powerful GNU Screen program, INX now sports the "Dvtm" Dynamic Virtual Terminal Manager, a "tiled terminal manager".
