dear pidsley,

you can take a looky here: https://github.com/fullstory/pyfll/tree/master/packages
and here: https://github.com/fullstory/pyfll/tree ... packages.d

I recommend to open these pages side by side in two tabs.

they are using fullstory to create the distro, certain package bundles are like meta packages (for example "distro" pulls in the apto... sorry, siduction tools)

^ Thank you.

@machinebacon - we use slightly modified versions of the fullstory things to be true (pyfll, fll-initscripts and so on). And of course our own package lists, settings etc - have a look at https://git.siduction.org/extra/pyfll - and maybe one should have a look into the manifest files beside the isos.

^ Alf Gaida, eine Ehre Dich hier begrüßen zu dürfen! :)

Of course I am aware of the siductionized fullstory stuff - I was heavy user of sidux and siduction. And I always hoped that siduction would pick up the little upgrade warning pop-up (hermes) again :)
Frohes neues Jahr und weiterhin viel Erfolg mit siduction, unseren Support habt ihr ;)

Re: the update notifier - we have thought of, but descided against it for some reasos which i forget over time - mainly i think because one should upgrade a sid system on a regular base.

Re; image size - we ship some different things than sidux/aptosid - so we ship the kernel headers, some none free drivers that ease running the iso everywhere with network and display support and we added some otb support for kvm, vbox and other virtualizations - of course this makes the image a little bit fat but improves the user experience much in some situations.

The non free stuff can be dropped at installation time to get a dsfg free installation.

Euch auch ein frohes neues Jahr und viel Erfolg.

^ No worries. IMO Siduction is the best ootb Debian sid experience with all the niceties you mentioned and in this area of the web we all appreciate the non-free repo.

We are fans and welcome another celebrity to our corner.

Frohes Neues!

^heck, we were *based* on siduction back in 2013 or so, and as we always advertised: pick siduction or antiX if you don't like the grill.

Arch is dropping i686 support.

https://www.archlinux.org/news/phasing- ... 6-support/

^ Damn.

Siduction is also dropping 32bit for next release

https://news.siduction.org/2017/02/next-release-plans/

^Yes, I wonder when Debian will give it up?

"Calamares" The universal installer framework. Sort of one installer to rule them all.

Graphical installers are bloat. (-:

At least they drop that ugly browser based installer. :)

I love the new Kodi, version 17. It is already in sid/Stretch and will ship by default in Debian. It looks damn good with the new skin.

Unfortunately I need Android 5.0 on mobile.

quite interesting.

A really fucked up situation. It is just beyond me.
Real world business should never depend on one company and in this case, a foreign one that spies and spies on us.

Didn't MS recently relocate their European HQ to Munich? Coincidence much?

It's a bit sad, I know Rhow loves Excel, but I find libre spreadsheet thing to do all I need and writer it pretty much word, again as far as i need to do.
The area MS are really pulling customers in is in email, at least I've noticed that at work. which is fine by me.
once they buy into the ecosystem it all makes sense. like gmail = google account, very similar with MS the other way around though.
Real world businesses unfortunately rely on one system, and it's mostly been MS, so why do anything different, kinda the 'you gets what you pays for' if it's free, who releases stuff for free? damn hippies...

Correct.

Don't get me started on this.

LibreOffice is mature and works wonders. It has been good for a while now, and I don't really see the point in using MS Office anymore aside from silly PowerPoint slides which are still the only thing LibreOffice can't support well. But we all know whose fault this is.
