Hello from a live session!Well, I've kept a loose eye on this thread for a couple few months now, tempted but never lured. As of lately, I've been like a "mad man" at the computer , trying to figure out exactly what it is I wan't on my netbbook and why. After much consideration and experimenting, I've got it down to a triple boot of archbang, #!, and a debian sqeeze netinstall. I'm "commiting" to this set-up for a duration of at least one month. :lol:
So today I thought I'd break away from all the "hard work" and just goof around, but with what? DUH! Madbox of course...
Download was fast, as was the live boot-up. Once I figured out how to get my keyboard to speak in English, I was able to connect wireless without a problem. Got deadbeef playing some good blues music as I set off to check things out this Madbox.
Seems mighty fine. I've always had a thing for Peppermint OS for its minimalist approach and the fact that it's easy to forget that it is Ubuntu based. Madbox is even lighter, and seems very "UN-buntu" as well. While I can say that I won't be installing to disk, I will keep the live session around.
This distro might help inspire a certain direction for my Debian build. But if for nothing else, I think passing the USB stick down to my brother (when I'm done playing w/ it :P ) just might be the "miracle" that I've been waiting for. My brother Vista machine is driving him "nuts." Now, let's see if we cant drive him "MAD!"
Thanks ADcomp! I can already tell this is a fine contribution to the linux community.
