Hi Gregory,

I didn't quite catch what's Cacao Linux different from NEXTSPACE (https://github.com/trunkmaster/nextspace)?

It will be based on Devaun or Debian. It will use GNUstep applications from GNUstep itself and GAP. It will not use any graphics from Apple or NeXT if I don’t have it I’ll make it or ask for help making it.

I intend on using the loginpanel.app application I wrote years ago as the means of signing into the system instead of anything based on gnome or some other non gs based solution.

Part of the reason for doing this is to encourage more development to make it more and more complete because once we have a reference distribution the gaps will become clear.

Do you plan to include some special frameworks, applications?

I am writing a facade for webview based on CEF3. I did something similar using berkelium at one point. You can look in GAP for that. It will likely use Vespucci as the GUI.

Is it just Debian specific GNUstep build?

Not specific to Debian. I intend to make it as generic as possible.
