Hi everybody,
Here's the pre-release of the etoile live cd we made for the fosdem...
I'm impressed. This is the first time I've seen Etoile and I'm sure
it will attract Mac-minded people: Well tought interface, lean, task
centric.
Great idea is to offer two accounts, one for Etoile, one for GNUstep
solo.
it's buggy,
So, I'll add my observations here:
- Running the CD natively, I get a blank screen only. Likely due to
my G965-based chipset, but there appears to be no text mode to check.
Upgrading to Ubuntu Feisty with it's 2.6.20 kernel might be a good
idea to be at least current regarding hardware support.
- At the login, the busy mouse cursor never stops spinning.
- Opening the CD in Windows presents you the advantages of Ubuntu, no
word about Etoile or GNUstep.
- ProjectManager in Etoile doesn't offer project types (list is
empty), prohibiting doing a sample project. Same app in GNUstep works
better, but chokes when trying to write the project to disk.
All this was seen in VMware, 256 MB RAM.
but it's available to play with !
Make sure to get the installer working before "shipping" :-)
