Hi devs!
It's been a while, but I wanted to put out an interesting idea for you. Over at Quirky Puppy, Barry Kauler released a new version that was very intriguing - a purpose built Puppy that was pre-installed with everything nescessary for Android app development, from beginner to expert.
This struck me as a brilliant idea. It also struck me that I have no idea how to install Quirky Puppy, since it's quite complicated to do so
Anyway, with your online build system, it got me wondering about options to build various flavors of porteus, not around a given desktop nescessarily, but around a given task.
A few ideas off the top of my head:
1. Android Development
2. Java Development
3. Gaming (Steam)
4. Gaming (emulator, modern / legacy)
5. Security testing 8)
6. Secure Browser
I'm sure you could get many more.
All of these (or most) would be possible as things currently sit, with the right modules. I just thought the idea was interesting enough to mention.
Thanks!
TM

Re: Purpose-Built Porteus
Looking at all this preoccupation with security in other topics at the moment, I dare say a Porteus offering cast iron security for the paranoid would go down quite well. 8)

Re: Purpose-Built Porteus
