I installed as ArchLinux, had the Network as NAT, running the x686 vers. on a AMD Barton 2.8.

This is t...First thx Barnaby for your great review. This is the first we got so far which covers the most features we aim for.<br /><br />Ashoc is still in heavy development. Here some corrections about the review:<br /><br />Tribe: Tribe has full features to create a new partition-table or even new partitions. You can reformat them or even delete them.<br /><br />LiveScripts2: You can create your own live-media also as DVD and add more apps to it. Some Distros have more space on their discs as we have. Most of the space goes for locales. We have all supported locales added so you have all on livecd available. Also we have the full driver package installed. On overlay we have the proprietary drivers and some extra files which are squashed separately. So no space to add an Office Suite to the livecd but you can install Koffice, LibreOffice or Openoffice with Cinstall.<br /><br />Arch-Repositories: It is NOT recommended to use any Arch-Repository with Chakra GNU/Linux. This is why:<br /><br />* Chakra has its own toolchain<br />* Chakra uses different dependencies (python2)<br />* Chakra has all their binaries rebuild<br /><br />CInstall: is just a test-app. We are working on Shaman2 in the backround. Bundlesystem was also designed to have some nice GTK-Apps available. In 1.0 of Chakra there might be no CInstall anymore.<br /><br />What will Ashoc bring new?<br /><br />Tribe: gets a rework of Partitionmanager with Automatic setup and LVM Support. The known manuell mode get enhanced. Also you can create multible users again with Avatar and full settings. All translations of Tribe gets activated, which are 20 by now. Some screenshots you can see here: http://chakra-project.org/bbs/viewtopic.php?id=3267<br /><br />Lib32: With Ashoc we introduce lib32 to enhance CCR and 32bin Apps for x86_64 archs.<br /><br />CCR: Is the answer to AUR and is growing fast. Most voted pkgs get added to our binary repositories or ending up as a bundle.<br /><br />Bundlesystem: gets enhanced too. Cinstall has a proper Wizard to click your own bundles.<br /><br />Subsystem: We are now have 2.6.36 series with Xorg19 and newest drivers to support more hardware than ever.<br /><br />Live-Mode: We are enhancing our hardware detections scripts to enable more hardware like wlan-sticks (broadcom) to work also in that mode.<br />Mostly some drivers break other drivers when installed so we have to write some tweaks or enable more cheat-codes in bootmenu.<br /><br />Bootmenu Cheat Codes: You can force to load proprietary drivers or even VESA driver for safeboot.<br /><br />Wiki: also growing fast. We have now 5 translations already. New documentation about our own tools get written.<br /><br />RepoSystem: I recreated our Chroot-System to create our pkgs to have less Chroots installed on your system. Now you can support the whole Branch-Set of the distribution with only one Chroot installed.<br /><br />Team: is growing also. If you want to help us, join. We are open for everybody who knows Archlinux or want's to make Chakra even better.<br /><br />Future: we have lot's of ideas we didn't implemented yet. Akabei for example is our new package manager which will replace pacman completely. It will support xdelta patches so you only download the changes and not the full packages. After that we have split from Archlinux completely.<br /><br />In short: lots to come - lots to see.<br /><br />greez<br /><br />Phil Miller - Project Leader of ChakraPhil Millerhttp://www.chakra-project.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6253115272113487284.post-88333962423092083102010-11-02T17:58:34.442+00:002010-11-02T17:58:34.442+00:00Chakra and Arch have not drifted much apart yet, b...Chakra and Arch have not drifted much apart yet, but the chasm is widening everyday.

But i'm not 100% sure about this.<br /><br />Anyway, nice article.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
