Alpha Crucis 2.3

Alpha Crucis is a live Linux CD based on CRUX the Linux Live Scripts.

Why yet another Linux live cd, arent there enough?

But there is always room for one more, if it has some uniqueness. I do not see many live distros based on my favorite, CRUX. What I want is an i686 optimized live cd based on CRUX Linux, so I can use CRUX on any box wherever I go. No longer having to wait to get home to try out ports and such. This live cd is made with the Linux Live scripts and CRUX Linux.

Features include XFCE 4.4.1, Thunar with autodetecting and mounting of media; window managers JWM, Fluxbox, and Icewm for lighter machines; Rox-Filer, Leafpad editor, Stella and Snex9x emulators, NTFS-3g, the Gimp, Gftp, Gpview, Xine with codecs, XMMS, 2.6.21.2 i686 optimized Linux kernel with full driver support, Dillo, Xchat, Eterm, and more.

The main focus of CRUX is simplicity, and I tried not to stray too far in that area. But unlike a CRUX install, most configuration is taken care of for you with this cd. Running Alpha Crucis is not much different that running Xubuntu Live. This cd is made in hopes that it will be fun to use, but it is of course not related to, condoned, nor authorized by the CRUX project. CRUX is simply a fine Linux distro I use and recommend.

Why the strange name?

Most Linux distros have strange names. Alpha Crucis is also known as "Acrux", and means "at the foot of the cross". It is the brightest star in the Crux constellation. I did not want to name my project Jasonix, nor any version of the word CRUX. I like the name Acrux, but I will not use it out of respect of the CRUX project.
