Didn’t you feel “oh great, here is another useless distro” a little right?
Please don’t. We are not trying to create a shiny-super-even-for-you-noob-oh-wow-look-at-these-effects distro nor aiming to “decrease Micro$oft’s market share” etc. This is just a Linux distribution (more likely package manager) experiment. Hadron doesn’t even have enough packages in the package repository to please most end users. That’s what we have for now. You’re very welcome if you want to help.
I like that!

uhh, arpinux.. on your site it says:
#
99% free (conky and flashplugin for the last 1%)
... conky is free. it's released under the GPL.
]]>ok, ok... i think i might have to give hadron the full "college try". ^_^
reading that first page... before you're even quarter way through, it should have you sitting up and paying attention, maybe even drooling a little.
the short of it, it's like it has the best of both worlds, of gentoo, and arch. ... and it's committed to freedomware! no binary, no proprietary. stuff as simple as it needs to be.
ok ok, so it's early days for hadron yet. it's number of packages will likely prevent it becoming my primary os just yet... but certainly one to watch. :)
(thnx cog for introducing me to it... revenge for me introducing you to exherbo?)
]]>Instead of hopping sideways, first went with hopping upwards ... Installed the latest #! iso, like it. Then flush with the new installs crunchiness ... Next went w Debian proper, rolled my own install. Like it mucho mas too. Couple minor cosmetic woes and a power management pita to sort out, then calling it done.
UNTIL ... the next hop. :P
HA ! Got it ... helps if ya install enough firmware. DOH ! :/
]]>i'll have to give liberte linux a whirl on a pendrive, but that'll be it. the end of my time with pre-configured gentoos. i doth my cap to sabayon, toorox, papug, ututo, and calculate. now is time to go back to gentoo proper, and, like i said, without trying to be too clever this time. no exherbo, no ratgentoo, no even trying to keep it ultra trim n speedy n light on the useflags. i've plenty space and time to pad it out with some extra useflags.
...though... i might go for funtoo, rather than gentoo... ;)
edit - just added a link to liberte linux, since you'll be wanting to check out what it is. ;)
]]>Just goes to show, babble enough and eventually someone is bound to say summin interesting. ;)
The what makes a distro, qualify as a distro thing is on my list of things that make ya go hmmmmmmmm. It's a bit weird, not that distrowatch is the final say on all things distro. If there is such a mythical place online somewhere. I haven't found it yet. Oh well ...
Happy computing .... end babble. :D
]]>PS, sorry for the wall of text or in my case WOB = Wall of babble. :P
You apologize for an interesting read. That's strange.

I do not think so, Linux Mint and Sabayon for sure and there is also PinguyOS, yet the name sucks.
In comparsion with all those Buntu derivatives I think Ubuntu is pretty good. :)
Hmmm never tried those others ... and probably won't #! has a pretty good grip on me.

Respect Ivan, but wanted to babble some stuff. Sadly have to agree about the LM main thing, gnome3 shook em up over there imo. Like it did a ton of gnome-centric distro's. Betting they'll be back on track before long and living up to the buntu done right label they earned. Besides LM's got Debian based and more releases than someone can shake a stick @. Some of them can be or are as light as #!.
Started with LM10 ... Had heard so many people trumpeting buntu. Couldn't wait to try it ... Was debating a couple starter distros and on the verge of trying buntu 1st. Came across post ... LM ... buntu based, but better. Hmmmm ... try it, borked it almost immed, brief jump to buntu 10.10.
Buntu 10.10 ... Pure, distilled gnu/nixy horror imo. :lol:
Window controls reversed for unknowable weird Canonical Inc reasons. This, that, bloat ... omg. Thought if this is the best gnu/Linux has to offer, am going back to window$ where I'll be safe from this nonsense. Reinstalled LM10 ... stuck with, bork reinstall, bork ... reinstall. Rinse and repeat a couple dozen times until figured out ... blah.
O course mentioned am sure many great gnu/nixers involved with both. No offense or disrespect either way so forth. In buntu's defense, am sure they've got tons of stuff that would work great too. Have a couple times stopped and wondered.
Wth is a distro anyway, what tech constitutes a gnu/nix distro ? A wallpaper or logo ... what exactly ? Buntu is no doubt overwhelming majority Debian ... If you go to distrowatch and search for buntu based distros. Bunch come up, rerun the same search for distro's based on Debian. All those same buntu credded distro's come up again + buntu itself. Know there's patches this, n changes that ... But fact is the majority of buntu is something buntu had zero to do with and was around longggggggg before that distro was a gleam in Canonical Inc's eye.
Weird and end babble ... Good dy folks, I SAID GOOD DAY ! :D May peace be upon us, n happy computing.
