Hi !
So in a few days, i will release a new up-to-date Linux OS for Open Pandora, based on Slackware.
(btw, ED plz, remember me... i'm on my own to debug for now :/)
It will include a lot of goodies, but maybe there's obvious things i missed.
So here's my questions : do you need something special ?
Something useful that every distro should ship, or something that will serve well the OP community.
I already compiled many packages from here [url="http://slackbuilds.org/repository/13.37/"]http://slackbuilds.o...pository/13.37/[/url] but i may add a few.
Also, my rootfs archive is around 1G and my current build is > 4G on a SD.
I've not decided yet if i will slim down under 4G, or bloat ?
My current limit is 8G, but if most of you use 4G cards, i may reconsider.
Also, do you want fixed IP adress on all interfaces + ssh activated by default ?
I will probably create a default user (op/op), but do you prefer no user at all, and create yours ?
Tell me.
