Updated the aquariusoft.org website so cleaner url's are used. Please update your bookmarks to this aquamorph page

Also note that for over a month now an aquamorph forum exists, where you can brainstorm, troubleshoot and praise the joys of GNU/Linux livecd's.

*Drumroll* - there it is - finally - v0.2 of aquamorph is online! Get it while it's hot :)

Kind of disclaimer: Please read the "Mild warnings" part at the todo page.

Just made the [hopefully] last .iso before release of 0.2. I made a screenshot of the new looks and put the new help document online.

I'm currently finishing some tweaking of the various parts of the xfce4 install of aquamorph. I only need to create a little Help page and then aquamorph 0.2 will be finished!

As I finally have some vacation from classes, I'll try push out a new aquamorph in a few days. I know I've promised it quite often before, but I'm finally doing it :) Besides that, people really get annoyed with the age of the various morphix isos, so I'll just try to take over some Lightgui marketshare ;)

Ok, some thoughts:

\t
• Morphix base 0.4-1e
\t
• squasfs userland tools [mksquashfs]
\t
• new Morphix tools [installer, xconf, networkconf, etc]
\t
• grub instead of lilo [need to dig some documentation to get to learn the magic of it; like - a custom aquamorph splash or something :)]
\t
• update xfce4 panel entries, including all nice tools I've put in aquamorph
\t
• no OpenOffice.org; it's just too bulky

Don't be shy and contact me at morphix at aquariusoft dot org or in #morphix at irc.freenode.org for feature requests/remarks or fan mail ;)

I tested a new aquamorph today. 0.1.03.1 is not ready for prime time [will fix the version number when it is ;) ] but it's looking like something that will be a worthy successor to the ancient release 0.1.00

Yeah, this project is still alive :) I'm feeling kinda sorry I'm letting a release slip and slip. But I'm very busy with Real Life(tm), little projects of my own, work and blah blah blah, so releasing a new, updated aquamorph is becoming important for me to show I'm still capable of doing useful things for the community =)

Sooo, I'm still pondering whether or not to include OpenOffice.org. And if I do, I should drop Gnumeric and Abiword. I don't have to, because there's plenty of space left, but that's exactly my point. I want aquamorph to be as complete as possible, but without the bloat. As I said in the previous news item, I included beep-media-player and gxine. However, beep player is kind of redundant to xmms. It's GTK2, so nice looking, but still has it's quirks. Maybe I'll throw it out of the distribution again. However, I'm becoming a fan of Rhythmbox, another mediaplayer. This, however, is quite a different kind of media player, and is interesting enough to be put in besides xmms. gxine has a simpler interface then xine, so people are more likely to like gxine. And I want aquamorph to be an advertisement for GNU/Linux and opensource goodness too, so that's a pre.

Again, a little list, but now with things to consider:

\t
• Include OpenOffice.org?
\t
• If I do, throw out Gnome office? [Gnumeric and Abiword]. I tend to keep them, because they work fine and are lightweight do-it-alls
\t
• Put in Rhythmbox [and throw out beep-media-player?]
\t
• Contact Alex about the various Morphix tools and what versions to include
\t
• Wait for new base? 0.5 will feature some major changes, like being able to put your own mainmod together. However, it's not finished yet, and 0.4-1d is doing just fine
\t
• What burning program to include?

Please, don't be shy and contact me at morphix at aquariusoft dot org for suggestions. OK, I'm going to plan some time for some updating and I will burn and test a development version next week, I hope. As I said, it's becoming important for me again, so stand ready for a New and Improved(tm) aquamorph ;)

I did a dist-upgrade today, so I'm a step closer to a new aquamorph. I've to tweak things a little and then burn and testrun and probably have to adjust a whole lot of things [quite a few things have changed since September last year], and I'm quite busy, so I guess it will be an April the first release ;)

Some news: threw out nedit, idesk. Replaced mozilla-firebird with mozilla-firefox. Installed gxine [besides xine], beep-media-player [xmms is still there also] and got flashplugin-nonfree. The latter brings me to the following: aquamorph contains some items from non-free [the flash plugin, unrar and the nvidia drivers]. I did this because I think it makes life a lot easier. And that's why I created aquamorph in the first place :)

New base will probably be 0.4-1d. Or maybe 0.5 [I've waited so long already ;)]. The version of the Morphix Lightgui doesn't really matter, because it does not change that much. However, I'll try to put in the latest Morphix software [installer, con, config utils and maybe partition morpher?] to get the ultimate Morphix experience =)

Ow, I still haven't decided about putting OpenOffice.org in. Maybe I'll leave it out; aquamorph already has gained some weight. But on the other hand, I'm trying to get the Ultimate Experience(tm) and it doesn't fit on a mini cd anyhow. I'll see.
