sunrat Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 This ain't exactly breaking news but it hasn't been mentioned before. Some of the aptosid devs have branched out and started a new fork. You can read about it on the home page, but one of the trigger reasons was to make a more community based distro as aptosid has always been driven more by the devs than community. I wish them well and will be trying it out shortly. http://siduction.org/index.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggdog Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I downloaded it but I haven't had the time to do it justice; I've been way too busy with domestic chores, Postcrossing, and Emacs to attend to a rowdy distro like Siduction! I'll look forward to reading what you say about it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunrat Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 I like how they name releases after songs. The next one will be called "Desperado", after the Eagles song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Not a rolling-release distro, I don't guess, huh? Wasn't the original Sidux rolling-release? I may have to try this because my Debian installation is toast again. Debian just does NOT seem to like this system. I've never been able to put a stable working installation of it on here.

sunrat Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 Screenshot in VBox. Everything works as expected. Uploaded with ImageShack.us I presume, as it's based on aptosid, that it will be rolling release. One difference that sticks out is they will be hosting more recent versions of KDE than Debian (and aptosid). The next release, "Desperado", will have KDE 4.8 whereas 4.7.4 has just entered the sid repos and will most likely be used for Debian's "Wheezy" release. Also available in delicious LXDE and XFCE flavours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Nice! I sure wish I could just get Debian to work for me again. If that doesn't pan out, I'm going to end up with Aptosid or Siduction as a substitute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
