This mail was sent to address@hidden, address@hidden
Stuart Longland <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License:
Package: Atomic Linux
System name: atomiclinux
Type: non-GNU
Description:
AtomicLinux (or Atomix) is a highly-customised GNU/Linux distribution aimed at
end users with skills ranging from the computer illiterate to the computer
expert.
It aims to implement the upcomming Linux 2.6 kernel and include some of the
common drivers from nVidia, ATi and other companies (depending on licencing --
not sure if these are 'free software' or not) along with some of the lesser
known systems such as the Zero-Install <http://zero-install.sf.net/> package
management system.
Discussions of porting the 'ports' from FreeBSD has also be discussed and may
be attempted by this project, with the aim of extending it to allow building
from source or installing a prebuilt binary.
It'll be a minimalist GNU/Linux distribution, including the basic KDE & Gnome
desktops, a few lightweight window managers & desktops, Mozilla, some instant
messenger clients (Gaim, EB-Lite, Ayttm, etc), IRC clients (XChat, BitchX,
KSirc, etc), OpenOffice, and other packages that would be useful for the home
user.
It also aims to seemlessly roam between multiple networks, whether they be
dynamically configured via DHCP/BOOTP/RARP or statically.
At this stage, there is no source code as yet, although it is likely that
AtomicLinux will be based on Linux From Scratch
<http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/>.
Other Software Required:
Typical base system packages:
<http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/view/4.1/chapter04/packages.html>
KDE, Gnome, OpenOffice, anything else we include.
