  1. Couple things. by Booker · · Score: 3

    1) Where's the download? I'm curious to see what's in the distribution.

    2) I noticed their "Gone Home" distribution - designed "specifically for home use." I think I like this idea, making a distro specifically for the home user. But then I think about it some more, and I like the fact that your standard Linux distro does whatever you want it to. ("It's a server!" *smack* "It's a client" *smack* "It's a server!" - sorry, Chinatown flashbacks...)

    I guess I'd rather see an install that gracefully handles a home user or a commercial/power user. I'd be disappointed to see anything start a win95/winNT-client/winNT-server type dichotomy (trichotomy?) in the Linux distros. Of course, you can add whatever capabilities you want after the install, so I suppose it's no biggie.
