[Ichthux-devel] The Future if IchthuX

[David Blue]

Ok, so I had some ideas about what we can do with the future of IchthuX.

1)I think we should consider moving to (k)ubuntu as a base rather than knoppix 
because (k)ubuntu is supposed to have better laptop support

2)We need better support for unicode, particularly for greek and hebrew (and 
possibly other biblical languages)

3)Update to at least kde3.4. There have been a *lot* of usability enhancements 
and other fixes since the version we're currently using

4)Artwork. I don't mind our current artwork, but the boot splash and ksplash 
and everything basically having the same design/layout doesn't help accent 
what's going on, perhaps we could switch to a different ksplash engine so the 
splash screen looks much more like the boot spalsh (which is what suse 10 has 
done)

5)Packaging, just an idea I've been kicking around is to have a repository for 
the various installers (apt,yast,yum,urpmi,etc) for the various 
opensource/linux christian programs. So you could have something like

packages.ichthux.org/yast/suse10.0

With suse 10.0 packages in it

or

packages.ichthux.org/yum/fc4
packages.ichthux.org/urpmi/mandravia10.1

etc
