Wow, cool :-D
This is great news!!! Thanks Sriram I will do exactly that. Originally I intended to have Conky and Gkrellm system monitors aswell but after testing them in KDE4 they really don't work well so that idea is scrapped, however since the new Belenix will have Gnome2 also I figure that they will work much better there.... http://www.optiplex-networks.com/capture/screen.html for further details! Pay attention the green and red screens which I developed using Debian Sarge and Etch and call them CyberOS and HellFyreOS respectively. Because of KDE4's different handling of desktop GFX information I am not able to get transparency working with the Conky and Gkrellm system monitors at all meaning that they look pretty bad. :-( Perhaps an idea might be to have one KDE based live CD and one Gnome based one?? Just a thought as die hard fans of each desktop environment really do swear by them and don't like change. Also some Linux distro's have gone that way too. Another interesting point which I am going to look at is using the startup sounds from Knoppix Linux live cd upon boot and shutdown. I have tried to implement this in Debian, sort of a reverse engineering hack which failed abysmally. I have the sound data files in .ogg format backed up on my network so I just need to revise on where exactly Knoppix included them. I am not sure if we could release the system with them on though as Knoppix is already using them and I am uncertain about the licensing if there is any at all. - These aren't the standard sounds post KDM when KDE d.e. starts up but pre KDM after GRUB boot launcher if my memory serves me well.... it has been a few years. Anyway this can all be discussed later when the actual alpha is out and I can gain full hands on to the new system!
