mbuntu
Status Update 15/01:
Thanks to a kind donation from stryd's neighbour, we now have a box dedicated to mbuntu development. Now working out the finer points of the interaction between apps and also some config tricks. mbuntu's beginnings are stryd_one's full-time operating system on three machines, so it could be said that it's coming along OK, or you wouldn't be reading this ;)
Status Update 07/09:
Script is coming along slowly.
Still screening apps and learning the ins and outs of packaging.
If you would like to install a few things to figure out what's the “best” tool for a certain job, shout out!
If you know about .deb packaging, we'd love any advice you can offer :)
Turn this page into a table with:
App name| Description| Home page| Latest Version| Repo Location (Existing OR Destination)|Existing Repo Version OR Packaging Priority|
Add footnotes for links like howto's etc No longer req'd, additional repos all in the script already with comments.
There's a lot of stuff listed here - don't worry, we're anti-bloat. Only the apps that are worthy will make the cut. And you don't have to install them all!
means we're pretty sure about this one Add one of these if you see something you really want!
means please share any info you have and can find
We can tidy the page up as this gets more structured.
