Post by: VastOne on November 27, 2013, 07:34:19 PM
For those (sadists) who wanted it, a VSIDO KDE build (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4gKMu7RCW3edF9EX184bDZXbmc/edit?usp=sharing)

Comes in at a massive 933 MiB!!!

Nothing done to it, just a KDE-Full install from SID

Actually, given the default applications in VSIDO Gnome 3 would actually be a more suitable option. Not that I would look for it to
be created. Never really cared for Gnome 3. Got on well with Gnome 2 in the day. Also I've heard (but never substantiated) that Gnome and sid were not the coziest of bedfellows.

The KDE was done just because I got it to work in SID for the first time and to preserve it... :D

I may try a Gnome 3 one... Just to see if it can be done and how much it would add to the ISO size

KDE damn near doubled it   ???

There's been a few of us kicking the kde ball around for a while now and have found that for the most part its a totally different d/e than it was say a year or two ago. The problem with gnome 3 is that its (IMO) the same as it was on day one. Big, bloated and exceptionaly slow. Those are three pretty big negatives and then you add that I've yet to get a properly functioning gnome3/cinnamon environment on Sid and my vote would be to avoid the headache.
That being said, ill test and attempt to break anything so bring it on VastOne!

As for the kde image, I ran a swapless install without a single issue at all. Installed systemd and then upgraded to the liquirix kernel and installed nvidia beta via smxi. Boot times to a fully functional kde environment are at about 20 seconds with 3 seconds at the grub screen and a memory usage of about 600mb with two conky configs running at boot.

a vsido release with 'mate' as DE would be great 8), just my 2 cents ;)

I'll substantiate that one for you; the only time testing or sid has has caused problems on my systems, it was gnome related. It would get fixed in a week or two, but I have to agree with lwfitz, not worth the headache.

could make for an interesting shake-up... like, once a quarter, or so... have one of these oddball releases of vsido.  a mate, an e17, a pekwm, a spectrwm, a i3, a ... whatever, y'know...  the quirkier the better.  a vsido with ude for example... or one with wayland.  XD

^ It sounds like fun... and I could but the time it would take may be too much to bite off...

All the tools are there for anyone who would want to take on one...

where'd it go?
just got a machine that has enough power to play around with virtual box

I'm using Mageia4, KDE off a minimal install
the real attraction is Digikam which is a kde thing dependency wise

Vastone came to mind when I saw this

is it like a python security plugin/module?

If VastOne doesnt have the ISO anymore then all you would have to do is install the newest ISO into Virtualbox and then once updated run

sudo apt-get install kde-full
