i just try austrumi.
very small and similar to dsl.
but, it's based on slackware (cmiiw)

what interesting is it have most things that we (or, i) need.
it have tsclient, rdesktop, samba (too bad no server), cups, etc...
almost everything we need to replace our win98.

I haven't seen this one. But Try vector linux. www.vectorlinux.com It
is another slackware build but I was quite impressed with it. It gave
an option on startup of using fluxbox, icewm or xfce as your window
manager. Had reasonable hardware detection as well (picked up my sound
card but not the network card :)()

I think the best thing about these projects is that we can just grab
the best bits off them and chuck them into Ubuntu Lite.

Start a Hoary "server" installation.

After reboot install (sudo apt-get install XXXX XXXX):

System: synaptic language-pack-XX aspell-XX rxvt numlockx gksu menu mc
deborphan alien  unzip  unrar msttcorefonts gsfonts-x11 gsfonts unarj
unace samba-client wdm rcconf

Desktop: icewm iceme icepref xfce (NOT Xfce4) dfm

Internet: mozilla-firefox mozilla-firefox-locale-XX-XX mozplugger d4x
xchat gaim gftp sylpheed-claws bluefish mtr

Multimedia: gpaint gxine gtksee gimp evince beep-media-player xmcd
mp3blaster gcdw cdw scrot

Office: abiword abiword-plugins xfonts-abi gnumeric
gnumeric-plugins-extra mousepad i2e

         [810 MB (uninstalling linux-image-386 and linux-headers-386)]

Add your prefered packages (tsclient, rdesktop) or change in Internet,
Multimedia and/or Office; ¡WARNING! shee dependences!: NOT install
ubuntu-desktop package NEVER ---->MORE more more RAM and space needed

Options-Tips:

-Use Xftree an Xfce samba aplications (old xfce add lots of apps for
use in Icewm: xfmountdev, xfkbd, and more)

-Use dfm(*) for easy icon creation

-Change mozilla-firefox to Opera --->less RAM needed

-Uninstall wdm and "create" autologin(**) --->less Ram needed

-Change dfm to rox-filer --> --->more RAM needed

Remenber uninstall linux-image-386 and linux-headers-386)

(*) For icons in desktop:

1.- Create a script called .xsession in /home/YOURUSER (sudo nano
/home/YOURUSER/.xsession)

2.- Type:

                #!/bin/bash
                # rox-filer -p=mypin& # for rox-filer uncomment
                dfmn& #  comment for rox-filer
                exec icewm

3.- Save changes and exit (Ctrl+x and yes)

4.- Reboot

If fails: chmod .xsession script (sudo chmod 755
/home/YOURUSER/.xsession)

(**) For autologin:

1.- Uninstall wdm (sudo apt-get remove --purge wdm)

2.- Install mingetty (sudo apt-get install mingetty)

3.- Edit .bash_profile (sudo nano /home/USER/.bash_profile) an add this
at the end of script:

                      # autologin tty2
                      if [ -z "$DISPLAY" ] && [ $(tty) == /dev/tty2 ];
then
                      exec startx
                      fi

   3.b- Save changes (ctrl+x) and exit

   3.c- Edit inittab (sudo nano /etc/inittab) and search this lines:

                    1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
                    2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2
                    3:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3
                    4:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty4
                    5:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty5
                    6:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty6

    3.d-change to this:

                    1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
                    2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty --autologin
YOURNAMEUSER tty2
                    #3:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3
                    #4:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty4
                    #5:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty5
                    #6:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty6

SORRY for bad english :(

Thanks. Here is the link to English homepage:

You forgot to mention that Astrumi is another business-card LiveCD.

you can see all those long steps we need to set it up....

compared to burn and boot the live cd...??

maybe those long steps are great for those who know their ways on
linux.

but, that will certainly scare away all the windows users that we like
to have them try linux.

Have anyone tried new Firefox? Its fastest browser I have ever used!!!!

What do you mean by "new Firefox"? Do you mean the DeerPark alpha?

On what platform did you try it? What are you comparing it to? Have
you done any timings?
