Oh I see activity here! Very nice :)

Of course we can make a Crystal edition, gimme the sexy configs and we're good to go. (Pidsley, you're right, I haven't even spent a single minute to configure FVWM, mostly due to lack of time)

And Clooney wasn't really wrong about "Mother", it was meant to be a Christmas remix for mothers - as well as a full-featured XFCE desktop.

Okay, I'm all ears, please dump your ideas here, I love it :)

I never played with FVWM, could be interesting especially when I can get high from using a Crystal version. :D

just to be clear: 'Mother' was for mothers, not for all women.

oh oh oh, Jules! we talked about this a long time ago, but i think it'd still be really cool to have something for kids. maybe it could even include a question at the start, 'are you a boy or a girl', and it would change the theme and wallpaper based on that. we'd just have to come up with a good name (i don't really like the ring to 'LinuxBBQ Pedophile', something tells me 'NO.' :)

possibly b/c we have some cwm users here, we put together something around that. Might fit well packaged with GNU/KFreeBSD. Just throwing it out there.

^ Ok, because I still had no real idea but honestly. I played with the Gang and I banged cwm really hard as it is already recommended by some of us. It is a fantastic WM. Why not, a great cwm based spin with all the CLI goodies and of course Roaster as the default damn awesome BBQ browser. There is no cwm ootb distro apart maybe OpenBSD. Cwm not to test but to install because on Gangbang it is already there to try out.

i like this idea rho
i even mentioned sugar a long while back somewhere in the forums
mainly because im a father of a little fella

i dont know if any of the rest of you are (parent of young person that is)

i'm using a fedora netinstall of soas on his machine because its newer than debian

the interface is a whole other world compared to what were used to
but they say kids dig it
i do too really, just having to learn it, to teach it to him, is a pain in the ass
but it's worth it

besides doudou, which is debian, just didnt do it for me

My youngest is 16 yrs, but apprentice and some others have little youngsters I think. You know what else we don't have (and you could probably care less :D)
an eye candy edition. Maxed out and pimped with the latest bloat, docks, conky's etc. Like a Pinguy OS Debian sid edition haha.

You make a kid's edition, and I'll add a few more BBQ users to the list. I haven't used any kind of "kid's spin" yet, because the little girl is learning to program, and I don't think that it is wise to nerf her ability screw things up too much. So far she's using #!, because it's easy enough for a 9-year-old to learn. On the other hand, I could certainly talk her into a BBQ spin. I can hear it now:

"Dad, I can't get Ceni to connect to the wifi."
"RTFM little girl! Do you even into Linux?"

Kids edition, nice and good. But kid is not kid :)
Probably it would need to be split into 2 or 3 age categories - something that $ucks like Sugar on a stick up to something that is the smaller brother of StudEx. Sans the LaTex :)
Well, we can merge Burgoo into it (the dosbox spin)

would be nice to set it up with certain capabilities for kids to learn something about Linux, in some way. just like DJ's girl is a Pythonista, there could maybe be example scripts or something. dunno, just thinking. of course this could be community effort - maybe the Pythonista has something to add to the spin? :D

it's an interesting idea at any rate, and it covers a segment of users that is somewhat underrepresented and always treated with a certain reservation of 'lets not make it too difficult for the kid!' - well, fact is that kids nowadays will grow up using computers and have at least the potential to surpass us all in skillz when they get older. so would be great to have some kind of combination of 'childlike' stuff and 'learning' stuff... just brainstorming here.

@apprentice: 'Veal' sounds like a nice name to me! anybody got better ideas?

^ Piggy sounds good to me too! nice Lord of the Flies-reference as well, which is apt, seeing how that story is also about kids having fun :D

Translators edition? Something like tuxtrans, but:

- lxde (if you need to put a DE, fair choice since translators are lazy bastards)
- iBus
- translator tools: OmegaT (needs Java), Anaphraseus, Gaupol (or Subtitle Editor) (check here for ideas)
- ceni and emacs, of course
- infinality for font rendering (inside Java applications works nice)
- whatever bbq beautiful tools you have in mind
- might be useful: linuxfortranslators.org

^ Noted. I like the idea. Let's see if LXDE makes sense, gotta check build deps first.

^ oh yes, whatever it's easier to setup. I suppose a great Openbox like Pony Muncher wouldn't be too hard to learn for someone not used to Linux.
