Hell yes I am, I always hate it when a system I SSH into is not configured for transmitting colors via SSH.
[QUOTE=birkett;15976734]Indeed we are. I really really really want to see about getting font smoothing on the consoles at some point :D Just out of interest, anyone interested in having a slightly prettier SSH connection? Directory listing colours for example. If it's not something anyone is interested in, ill move on and put it on the long term todo list.[/QUOTE] Definitely interested.
Yes.
A week since you updated? Guessing this is dead then ; )
No.

[QUOTE=birkett;16118672]FYI. I have a life.[/QUOTE] Apoligies. I was just expecting a little progress after a week.

I wouldn't mind helping out with web-related things? I can do xHTML/CSS, PHP and SQL. Good luck on the distro, though :3.

[QUOTE=ButtsexV2;16150056]kay, you make a linux distribution in a week.[/QUOTE] He said progress, not complete it.

[QUOTE=Subby;16193918]so any guesstimated completion date on this?[/QUOTE] No.
[QUOTE=birkett;15805279]It actually looks pretty damn good. Just a bit of a logo issue: [img]http://www.a-birkett.co.uk/files/boot.png[/img][/QUOTE] Call me crazy, but are you just modding Gentoo?
[QUOTE=faze;16194532]Call me crazy, but are you just modding Gentoo?[/QUOTE] No, read the thread you idiot. Gentoo is being used to build the distribution.
[QUOTE=faze;16194532]Call me crazy, but are you just modding Gentoo?[/QUOTE] No, we're forking Debian. This will provide us/birkett with a single platform to build it upon.
[QUOTE=HubmaN V2;16194791]No, we're forking Debian. This will provide us/birkett with a single platform to build it upon.[/QUOTE] A much better reply than the last. Thanks.
Debian is being used as a base. Gentoo is being used as a buildroot to build custom packages. Reason: Cross compilling is a damn sight easier on gentoo out of the box.
I hope this gets made into a working thing. Facepunch linux would be so awesome.
This would be fun to use. You guys should add support for the Dualshock 3 PS3 controller so that I could install it onto my PS3 :D
I dont have a PS3 to test on, and compilling for PPC arch is a bitch.

I think everyone should make a fuckload of facepunch related wallpapers to go with the release :v:
[QUOTE=Turbis;16211186]I think everyone should make a fuckload of facepunch related wallpapers to go with the release :v:[/QUOTE] This has already been done, just make a quick search on the forums and you'll see a lot of facepunch wallpapers. But yeah, some of them should be used in the facepunch distro, unless the Art and Media Team already got that covered.
derp_alt / Tu154m - Could you come up with a few branding ideas, then kick the art team off building the final boot splash and grub splashes? Looking at doing a bit more work on it this weekend - possibly have an x86 ISO at the end of it. (No promises).
Do you have a shell for the OS kernel?

Are we all on the IRC, or something?
