- richardiscool, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12Then there's Ubuntu Home, Professional, Media Center Edition, N, Embedded...
- Xiol, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Webmin, anyone?
- subhuman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6XUbuntu is designed for slower machines, nUbuntu is a Pen Testing Live CD Like Backtrack but based on Ubuntu.
Kubuntu has a KDE desktop instead of GNOME. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5anyone try this out?

sorry man, you had lit a match, and i was pouring petrol onto it..
intrestingly enough from the wikis faq:
"Ubuntu (along with its variations) are the only officially supported distros but it might and probably will work on other distributions."
yes, kerned is an odd typo to make... dunno for sure how i did it myself, but it got the meaning accross, and thats what really counts :) - Zuggy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4This seems like a very interesting concept. I personally would love to try it but having just reformatted my whole hard drive I need to put Ubuntu back on. The only thing that I would caution people about is "pre-alpha". This is geek speak for we just got this done and no one has tested it yet. If your brave I'd say give it a try but if your faint of heart, new to linux or just want everything on your system to work then I wouldn't recommend trying this until atleast beta.
- Chozabu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3why "of course" recompile the kerned?
i just installed the one i wanted(k7) with apt
if youre a speed freak, check out apt-build on debian(and thus ubuntu)
you say your an advanced user, as are many people you know?
for sure, you will have no prob porting it yourself :) - udha, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3It's just one person's solution to accessing his files etc remotely, without VNC etc. It should work on any linux-based apache2 server. But I've not tested it on anything yet, I'll test it on my Ubuntu box though when I've got the time.
- Qopax, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3xubuntu uses xfce for its window manager. Runs very nicely on my old 366mhz laptop...
- vertigoblue, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3this will be awesome! nice clean interface, and when video options are added this will become very popular...
- Xiol, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3XUbuntu? nUbuntu?
Whats the difference between them and K/Ubuntu? - nugget, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I like the idea, so as soon as I get ubuntu working I will have to test it out. some minor problems that I need to get ironed out.
- Jugalator, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6What does this have to do with Ubuntu Center? Try in a "Distro Comparison" topic maybe, but come on...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Developer: Although this is targeted for Ubuntu users most of it should run on other distros fine since its mostly just PHP. Ubuntu is more of a multimedia distro then the rest of the distros. I actually am almost positive it will run on other distros, I wouldn't recommend doing any porting now because the code is pretty crappy and needs tons of work. I am gonna do a complete code rewrite for certain parts of it before the first stable version.
- Protoss, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Sweet...integrated torrent downloading! Pirating software from across the country :D
- 7of7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This is great! Finally a Linux distro that's interested in innovating instead of complicating. Right now my Ubuntu load is kinda screwed up though, it can't find the hard drive so it boots to the crazy weak console which is worthless. Ah well, I'll reinstall and check out the Ubuntu Center. See when I always rag on desktop Linux it's because there wasn't to this point a distro that was really trying to be desktop friendly and trying to minimize the amount of console crap necessary. Ubuntu is trying, and that's a good thing.
- supremo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Awesome initiative! I really digg this idea of integrating great php software to handle photos, music, sysinfo, etc in one easy (apt-get/dpkg install) package. Keep up the good work :-)

It has to do with, OTHER PEOPLE USE OTHER DISTROS. So if he wants his program to be of a larger audiance than just Ubuntu users, he should port it over.
@UDHA
I didn't take a look at anything but the screen shots and a few comments, which stated most things were done staticaly, which could mean it IS only working in Ubuntu depending on what exactly has been done staticaly, but yes i'm sure it wouldn't be hard to get working on anything else. - robweber, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I just tried it out. there appears to be some dependency problems with the deb package. i have mysql and php but it says i don't when you try to install. i just forced the install and then everything worked fine. the few things that are working seem to work okay, but i haven't done anything other than basic configuration at this point. once this is released for other people to make plugins and modifications to it should be a really fun web-app to play with when you need access away from your main Ubuntu box.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1robwebber you sure you downloaded the latest package from the bountysource page? I thought I fixed this a few hours ago.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3yes unfortunately
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3looks like they're back up now
- mvprj84, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Alpha stuff normally isn't the greatest. I wasn't awe struck by Firefox 2 alpha ( http://digg.com/software/Firefox_2.0_Alpha_1_Download ) so I think I will wait until the betas.
- roostishaw, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Looks like the ubuntu forums are down.
:( - craterburnsu, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Also.
@ chozabu
Just because i'm more of an advanced user never did i claim to be perfect, nor did i say i was a programmer. So i never claimed I COULD port it myself, though i'm sure if i did some poking around i'd be able to atleast identify things that would need to be changed depending on how advanced the program is. - simbaB, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0@Xiol:
exactly. The music interface comes from Ampache (http://www.ampache.org/). Personally, I'm better served by OpenSSH with public keys. Worldwide, secure access to anything on my server, and best yet using FUSE it can be transparent to applications on the client machine. - craterburnsu, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3@ chozabu
Learn to spell kernel(Seriously, the L and D are on oposite ends of the keyboard) then you can try and question me. I don't recompile the kernel for 1 little thing such as prossesor type and specification, since i don't work on a changing system, why have the kernel loading modules for thing i'll never need, and thus speeding increase, and drasticaly lowering disk usage.
@Xiol
I was thinking the same thing tell i noticed this isn't as much for Configurations as it is for remotly accessing your files such as Mp3's ect. - craterburnsu, on 10/12/2007, -15/+5Ubuntu is too bloated for me, I suggest it to many newer users, but for me, and most more advanced users i know we all lean towards slackware and/or gentoo as a base, and ofcourse recompile the kernel all ourselves, and all the main programs if on slackware, since gentoo does it anyway. If they ported this over to be wider than ubuntu i'd try it out.
