Booted in VBox on a 32 bit single core instance, artificially pegged at 25% execution cap, with 256Mb RAM and 64Mb assigned to 3D enabled graphics. System up and running in moments with no fuss - good job. My initial thoughts are that you've shipped a broken browser: first of all, Midori is crap anyway and you've dispatched it with no possibility to actually enter a URL in any meaningful way. To get functionality of any kind, I had to launch it from xterm with "midori linux.org". That is pretty damn stupid right there. JWM sucks incidentally. I know desktop environments are very much an individual thing, but really? Awesome DM would have been a much sounder choice. Half of the system menus are unpopulated by the way. Anyone except a skilled Linux user is going to be *way* out of their depth on this, you need a shell to get anything basic done. WICD is another somewhat unconventional choice, care to explain? Also, based on Precise when Trusty is already 5 months old? Back to the drawing board my friends. Your baseline should be this: http://www.sysresccd.org If you can't bring more to the table than this, you should honestly withdraw all public resources and keep it as a private, scratch that itch project. Alpha releases are good to nobody when free 90 day evaluations of Windows 8.1 are one click away, Yosemite 10.10 developer betas are free, not to even mention a billion fully functional Linux distros. Do NOT on any account let me comments dissuade you from keeping at it. One thing I have never done, but have always wanted to and still want to even now, is roll my own distro. Unlike you, I'm not brave enough so bravo. Regards -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
