==== Description: ====
I would like to register Macaroni Linux which aims to be a USB based distro
with a possibility of being extended for other storage devices. Differently
from other distros such as DSL or knoppix, Macaroni will use a new 2.6.x
kernel which also provides better support for USB. The distro can be
installed with two different kernels and the installed one will support
initramfs and will manage the installation from within itself.
A package manager system is planned to be provided and coded although at the
moment there's not one line of code but only the idea to combine the XML/bash
or XML/perl.
Macaroni Linux gets its name by the curious penguin which I casually found
while browsing the web at this address
http://www.gilesorr.com/photography/200606/200606.20060615.5260.GO.Nikon5400.html
and I loved the funny motto by Giles Orr: "Macaroni Linux, the distro with
dreads". Finally I want to add the reason why I'm doing this work and why I
want to share it with the GNU community. I'm doing a computer science degree
at Bari University (Italy) and the head told me that I have to do a USB linux
distro, just that, no more details. I choice GNU cause I couldn't choice
anything else without considering me a retarded.
==== Other Software Required: ====
base system
Xfce
Xorg Server
