Greetings autwulf. I'm sure we can find somewhere for you to help. C++ will be valuable in programming for the project, but unless we do something windows related, VB isn't going to be any help. (vb==evil language!) How much linux experience do you have (# of years/months/weeks/ and/or days!?!) What linux distributions have you used? What is your favorite distribution so far? and lastly, how much programming experience do you have? --------------------------------------------- DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE BY EMAIL! --------------------------------------------- You have chosen to receive messages from "mentalunix" by email.

VB is definitely evil. :-) Alas it was a requirement for my major. I've been playing around with linux off and on for about a year and half. My first taste of x was actually on my old mac running a unix emulator. That didn't work too well, and I had no idea how to do ANYTHING! In college my first programming experience was in Solaris, so I learned a tad of Unix there... I ran Red Hat 5.2 for a little (it came with a For Dummies book on linux i bought), but my fav has to be Mandrake. I've installed Corel and Storm Linux, but I really missed some things like Xconfigurator. I've also tried running Phat Linux on my windows partition, but I had the hardest time getting it to recognize my nic. I have very little programming experience. Just some introductory classes in C++... nothing really particular to any operating system, just learning the basics. I don't think i will be able to contribute much on the programming side. I might be able to help test things, but I definitely consider myself a newbie. :) i'd like to learn more though, and I think this will be a good opportunity to do that. i like designing graphics... I'll try to come up with some ideas tonight. later --------------------------------------------- DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE BY EMAIL! --------------------------------------------- You have chosen to receive messages from "mentalunix" by email.

UL - NO POINTLESS REDUNDANCY. When you have a good text editor that is ESASY TO LEARN and SIMPLE TO OPERATE. You don't need VI or anything else. Therefore this distribution should maintain only one GOOD version of anything. M - Good mechanisms for version controll should be implemented and excessive BLOAT such as the X windowing system should be removed and distributed as SEPERATE packages. NOT EVERYTHING IS LINUX, THERE IS A SEPERATE CATEGORY FOR *PROGRAMS* THAT AREN'T LINUX. Don't cram everything into one product. =( -- If a "bug" in one program causes another to fail, the OS is at fault. http://users.erols.com/alangrimes/ <my website.

Well, sounds great. If you would like to help out with the graphics needed for the cd's, manuals, boxes, X and other stuff that'd be great. Since you dont code much, programming would be the lowest priority for your contributions, but if your willing to test stuff out, that'd be great. --------------------------------------------- DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE BY EMAIL! --------------------------------------------- You have chosen to receive messages from "mentalunix" by email.
