Yes I am aware of them. This project has been being privately worked on for a few months now. I wasn't going to say anything until I was closer to releasing something, but now that I've shot off my mouth, I might as well be out with it... What I am working on is a complete CD based Linux system. The next test release is going to have softsynth and flite built in, so you could in theory use it to install any hd based distro you chose once you booted the CD. It is similar in concept to knoppix, but the goals of the project are quite different. The developer team has been working steadily on the project for about 3 months or so. We're finishing up version 0.5 now, 0.6 is supposed to be the first publically available release and is targeted for a release date of November 15, 2004. If you are interested in testing the next version (0.5) we could use a couple more developers on the development team. Email me privately if you are interested. jbahm at pcdesk.net Anyway, that is the solution I am working on. Like I said, you should be able to boot the CD and then use it to load what ever flavor of Linux on to your hard drive you wanted. I don't know the details of how to do each one because that was not the original goal, but it occured to me later on in the process that you could do this if you wanted. If people are interested in this project, I could definitely post more information. -- Joseph C.
