Adonis Linux *Beta Testers Needed*

I'd rather people who don't have linux experience try the new distro I'm working on.
Just finished themeing for the most part. A bit more work to do.
Then some more package management.

Getting somewhere. :) Can't decide whether I want to install conky or not.

Add conky, for sure. I also agree with Mihir on Thunar. It always ends up being my preferred file manager. Because, of course you are creating this distro to tailor to my needs. Might as well make sure you get it right. Haha
 
okay, thanks for the suggestions guys. I'll work around with some conky stuff soon. As far as file manager,I'm using nautillis since it's the default gnome one and it's pre installed as a dependency. I normally use thunar too though. Kernel is 3.2.0-0.bpo.1-686-pae

At the moment the real challenge is stripping it down from 4ish gb's to 3. At 3.7 right now,so we'll see how it goes. This is why I don't like Ubuntu, too many uneeded depencdencies for everything. Still, It's moving forward.

Aurora is looking great! How is the installer though?

Also there seems to already be an Aurora linux distro at http://auroralinux.org/ and auroralinux.com and .net are taken so is this the best name?

Aurora is fine, I've seen those before. It's still Adonis, just a different spinoff. Aurora is the codename, so it'll still get the Adonis branding. It's ubuntu based at the moment, so you're in luck, I can use the standard ubuntu installer if everything works out fine.

Mihir, can you post a linky to that CrinosConky you speak off? Everything i have found sends me to some spanish site to a download link that no longer works. Would be apprecaited :good:

As far as this build, going to do a good bit more work tonight, and I'll upload a intial image probably sunday.

Sadly, unity is still installed, but because of the poor way ubuntu treats package dependencies, I can't remove it.Cinnamon is the default though. :)
 
Current theme:

And here's a busy one part way though theming it.

Going to clean it up a bit more, and work on repackaging it with a installer.
 
More progress:
Unity and Gnome are gone. Cinnamon only now.
Got it down to 2.48 GB's in size, started with ~4.5
Removed Natuilis and installed thunar as per request.
going to install a couple more key things and it'll be ready for a release tomorrow I think.


Edit: Suggestion for music player?
 
VLC and Rhthymbox should do it.

Here is another one I liked but I do not like the laptop as my wallpaper, but I like the idea

I'll give it some thought. I really want Aurora to be very clean though. If you missed my edit, it's up for download now. Feel free to test and tell me how awful it is :P
 
Good it is only 1Gb, will take about 3-4 hours to download :D. Will test it out and and write back.

EDIT
Might take a bit longer getting poor download speeds.

Yeah I tried wget -c to resume my download from 74% but it gave an error 404.
Then I checked and all the downloads had been pulled out :(, now I will have to start from 0%.

Sorry about that. There were some serious problems that got overlooked when it was first released. I'm just going to thoroughly test everything and put up some new stuff on the first, as well as put up the new design of the website.
 
I really like the new look to the site NyxCharon. I will have to try out Adonis soon. I really meant to earlier.

Is the Aurora version built any different than the XFCE version?

Edit: just read Cinamon. Feel like an idiot. :P
