Hey Fellas,
Back again after a long time ! was busy in making some projects for my degree. Anyway, I am here to announce my new project, a new distro of linux — VR*nix. Made by me & my team-mate Richa Bedi. Following are some aims for which we designed VR*nix.
1. A Light-weight Distro.
2. A Good-looking, pleasing to eyes, GUI.
3. An alternative platform for playing games ( Windows based games, usine WINE, Mono & Cedega ).
4. Easy-to-use & removing the hype of Linux from general desktop user.
5. Concentrating basically on Multimedia PC ( Not for Servers or Workstations ).
The GUI design, Wallpapers & Logo are designed by my team-mate Richa, a very good artist at work. I am releasing her work here in this post & will expect feedback of you people.
VR*nix ( Pronounced as VR-nix ), derives it’s name from our names (
).
The distro is ready, but is undergoing various tests & enhancements. Although till yet, due to lack of time as we have full-time college ( where we waste a lot of time in attending some boring & useless lectures …duhh ), we are able to complete only the basic version of the distro, i.e basic FS support, ethernet support, GUI, file manager etc.
Till yet, no multimedia support has been added as it needs a lot of time & tweaks, in order to make it easy to use. The first version will be available next year ( not sure about the exact time, but definitely next year ).
Screenshots of VR*nix will be posted in next post.
