Ok,
I propose a PearPC Linux Distrobution! Come on, lets make something cool! I can't program at all (although I have a Windows PocketPC 2003 Dev Disk) I can build a website (neonet.savefile.com) and can help out with testing, eye candy, and other stuff. I think we should build a graphical distrobution using some good window manager that doesn't eat RAM, spruce it up (OSX like look) and make it easy to set up PearPC with a GUI configuration file editor, HD file maker, and other helpful items like support for nightly build upgrading , the choice of G4 (Altivec) G3, and SDL builds of both.
Here's the plan:
1. make an initial build (really crappy no real good stuff yet)
2. get a sourceforge site (We'll show those people who "are planning" their distro) and if they don't accept us, well, I'll host it!
3. Build site (I can do that. I have Dreamweaver MX 2004 + Fireworks MX 2004)
4. public release - the initial lame build
5. work on it....
6. work on it more....
7. get in the online media so we get publicity, not Cherry 0$
8. Well.... We're done
That's it. Any takers? Any? Gee, we might even get donations!

I'd suggest using a windows manager only for the configuration/installation(of the emulator)/etc. and disabling it when the emulator starts, because it'll run full screen anyway.trygvebw wrote:Bad idea, because such themes use a lot of RAM. Better to use a simplistic theme with a simplistic window manager, like fluxbox or Window Maker.
Re: PearPC Linux Distro
Would this PearPC-distribution be made from scratch or be based on an existing distribution?
