I give credit to Beany for the buttons off the amarok-player.

Jedo Linux (pronounced jed-o), is a simple, clean Linux distribution that aims to provide a reliable distro for power users. Its best described as a cross between Linux From Scratch (LFS), Redhat and Gentoo.

Jedo Linux is a original distro (not built on any existing one), although it tends to lean towards LFS and feels a bit like Redhat when using it.

Source based distro allows rapid development, and makes it easy for users to tweak the distro to their liking. (most packages can also be installed from binaries)

Vanilla Kernel Jedo Linux runs a vanilla kernel, and this is updated regularly to the latest stable kernel.

Decent Support Life 3yr support life by default (may be adjusted depending on usage and versions avalible).

Release Cycle Aim to release a new version about once every 2 years, and release feature updates roughly every 6months for released versions. (of course security updates are released ASAP)

Desktop Distro Designed for use on desktops and laptops.

OSS All software included in the default install is Open Source (or Freedom Software) - including firmware. Some closed source software is in the repo, but it is clearly marked in the "nonfree" category. If you dont belive in using propietary software or kernel modules, none will be installed without you requesting it. Software that uses patented technology (eg: libdvdcss) is also in the "nonfree" category.

For expert users Its a distro for Linux power users - installer and config tools are all CLI and assumes you know all about partitioning, package management, etc.

New, but not bleeding Jedo Linux uses the latest stable technology - latest & greatest but not bleeding edge - because people like having their systems work as expected. Jedo Linux gives you good tools that work so you can get on with what you want to do without having to mess about fixing the OS.

Basicly, its a distro aimed at your LFS compiling, technically skilled Linux user who wants a distro that is simple to use and install - its not for your average Mum & Dad who just want to send email - that sort of user should look at something like Ubuntu. Neither is it a server distro as its not feature frozen - use something like Redhat EL/CentOS or Debian if you are after a feature distro with a long support life.

Linux Commander is a powerful file manager for the X Window System.

It is partially modelled after Window Commander for Windows.

MURIX Linux is a distribution based on LinuxFromScratch for building bootable CD-ROMs.

Since you build it from source, MURIX should function on almost any hardware.

Goodgoat is an easy to use desktop that can run from a bootable cd or it can be installed to the hard drive.

Goodgoat uses portage to handle updates for the installed version. I started goodgoat as an os for my low cost computer. I thought that the Linux I had created would be useful to other people.

I have hand picked the best of breed applications and left an easy to use desktop. I start with xfce4 which is light weight and easy to use. I added firefox, evolution for email, openoffice and many other applications.

Some highlights of the system is that it has all the regular desktop application, video and audio player, and auto configuration of the network and x windows setup.

For the system administrators I have added iscsi server and client tools. You can run /etc/init.d/iscsi-target start and you are sharing hd0. Goodgoat has qemu which is the poor mans vmware only it works better if you ask me (compressed filesystem).

To install goodgoat all you need to do is install the cd version (iso file) and use the installer in the prefs menu. Some parts of the installer take a few minutes but as long as the firefox circle is spinning you just have to wait until the installer finishes. While you wait you can open a new tab or a new window and browse the web or play one of the many games included in goodgoat.

Why should you use goodgoat? Its fast and everything you need is right at your finger tips. Goodgoat works well on older computers and doesnt need a lot of memory. Goodgoat works with desktops laptops, and wifi.

If you like gentoo all you have to do is install goodgoat and run su -; emerge sync from the xterm and you have a gentoo system. I add a few additional applications that are not included with gentoo and I installed newer applications than gentoo supports by default.

Goodgoat is about as easy to install as it gets. The installer is simple in function and easy to use.

Linux DC++ is a project to port the DC++ direct connect client to Linux or any POSIX-compliant Unix.
