Bestix, a new Kanotix-based live CD. The goal of this system is twofold.
1) Present a simple system, with a simple user interface.
2) Localization in every available language.
More detailed description: The system is simple in the sense that only a small set of programs is included: * OpenOffice.org 2.0.2 * Firefox 1.5.0 Gaim 1.5.0 * Skype 1.2.0 * Xchat 2.6.1 VLC 0.8.4
The window manager is icewm with XP theme.
The idea is to have a kind of Internet-Cafe-CD with the most popular programs. People who find the wealth of programs with Skolelinux/Knoppix overwhelming, may well be pleased with this simpler presentation.
Although the program set is small, the system can easily be expanded thanks to the magic of unionfs. An installation dialog suggests additional software that is then downloaded and "installed" into RAM. Alternatively, people can go to the klik website (in the Firefox toolbar), and choose their applications there.
In principle (with a cheatcode), you can download and install your additional applications on USB key, or on the hard disk. As with any Knoppix-based system, you can install the system to hard disk with knoppix-installer.
