@Pidsley: I'm afraid he'll finish that one quickly.
@Mikey: Pidsley anger management: install some sick WM (development release) on an already unknown distro that is deprecated since 1997 and manage it to run the thing below 23 MB in X, post a screenshot here and on #!, leave everybody buffled, and then go back to GNOME :D

CLisp + python projects for you guys at the same time...that can't possibly end up badly. :D

Edit: If any of you have the source or a link to it that hasn't already been built, that could help. Toss it my way and I'll see what I can do.

Well, the lisp window managers don't work at all, and roaster could use improvement, so what can go wrong? Besides, you obviously have too much time on your hands if you are trying to build LFS. :)

After walking a dude through the most basic of kernel parameter manipulation, I need a few days to stay away from newbies. One of these days I'm going to lose my temper and then my #! forum posting will come to an end. :P

Perhaps I should build some obscure WM on Source Mage Linux, I hear it's therapeutic.

@Bacon. On it like Gianna Michaels on birth control.

I hear that. My #! posting days have come to an end (for very similar reasons, and others) many times.

the idea to develop Roaster further sounds interesting. not that i have nearly the required Python knowledge to do it, but i see DJ will jump on it so i'm curious :)
would be nice to have our own browser.

Stupid question, putting it here because it fits the OP and I didn't want to open a new thread:

The new Trollinger remix is finished and is being tested (~40 hours uptime) with two kernels: liquorix (3.9-11) and towo (3.10-0)
I don't see any difference in everyday use, both have behaved extremely well (can't say much about heat issues, anyway I live in a subtropical area and build on a desktop PC) so the question is:

Which should be the default kernel? Liq, towo or both?

I say towo (3.10-0). What, really, are the advantages of liquorix for Trollinger? I'm not really knowledgeable about the benefits of liquorix vs. stock, etc. kernels, but I offer this:

http://slackermedia.info/html/kernel.html
Traditionally, this has not been the main focus of the Linux kernel. Ever flexible, the Linux kernel could always be modified to account for audio lagging and other multimedia abberations, but during these Dark Ages it was necessary to download low-latency kernel patches from obscure repositories, manually patch the kernel, and then re-compile and re-install.

These issues are ancient history now. The Linux kernel version 2.6.38.4 received a 200-line block of code that drastically changed its ability to work with near-realtime performance, and multimedia producers haven't looked back since.

I'll delay the new release a bit - no problems technically, I just added a few new things and test them first:

* Geary Mail to replace sylpheed
* uget as frontend for wget
* bbqrun to replace gmrun
* a new default conky
* a conky switcher (hackish)
* a wallpaper downloader
* bbqscrot (frontend for scrot)
* a new bbqsystem tool
* maybe a refurbished Roaster
* systemd in version 204 and sysV completely removed
* dropped network-manager-gnome and his ugly brothers in favor of Ceni
* Update Manager/Upgrade Warnings tool refurbished
* colder CPU and quieter fan
* frontend to cpufreqd
* new 'default applications' downloader (like a first-start app)
* some more, I forgot :)
