" i will charge a fee for everything else, because they cost money.

Shipping CD's/ DVD's, manuals USB sticks, SD cards are all exchanged
for relevant currency. "

""""""""

Nothing wrong with that....keep on developing it mate.

i have found a company here in australia that will be able to provide printed boxes, cd/ dvd's etc and customized USB sticks as well as manuals etc. However, i havnt found any good sticker (small stickers to put on your computer like the Intel Inside (TM) but with some Pussy related slogan) supplier that is cheap and willing to do the smaller size(s).

Im going to get CDs and DVDs printed and suitable packaging etc... but the DVDs and CDs i order will be blank (not design/ label blank... i mean data blank) so when anyone orders Pussy on CD/DVD ill burn the latest version on the media and then ship it. This will be best other wise i may be caught holding 100's of Pussy OS DVD's that are out of date because a newer version has been released.

Pussy downloads are still going strong, so far this month there has been more than 50GB downloaded from the website.

[Edit:] its the 29th of September and so far this month 75.1GB of pussy has been downloaded Smile

As mentioned before, im currently adding to the pussy-xtra iso to create a jam packed DVD version....

Packages added so far are:

mozilla-plugin-vlc - play media embedded in websites like .wav or .mp3
rosegarden - music composition and MIDI workstation
audacity - digital audio workstation/ wave editor
mypaint - paint program
jack - MIDI connection kit
qjackctl - utility to manage jack
beep - type beep at the console and the pc speaker will beep
bb - demo of libaa ascii graphical library set to music
xsidplay + libsidplay2 + sidplay-base - X and console C64 music player
dcraw and fraw - read raw image data from files or cameras
cups-driver-gutenprint (included cups) - more printing functionality
escputil - epson printer maintenance utils
photon - a static HTML gallery generator
blender - no idea, some people have requested it before 3D modeling??
wimgs3d - same kinda thing as blender i think

gimp plugins:
gimp-data-extras- An extra set of brushes, palettes, and gradients
gimp-dds - DirectDraw Surface) plugin for the gimp
gimp-resynthesizer: Gimp plugin for texture synthesis
gtkam-gimp -gimp plugin to open digital camera pictures
gimp-gutenprint - print plugin for the GIMP
gimp-gmic - GIMP plugin for GREYC's Magic Image Converter

gimp-gap - gimp animation package
gimp-ufraw - gimp imported for raw camera images
abr2gbr - Converts PhotoShop brushes to GIMP
gimp-dcraw - GIMP plug-in for loading RAW digital photos

Planning on adding all the soft synth software and a large repository of free music in midi/ mod/ sid formats also QB64, similar to MS Quick Basic.

If anyone here wants anything added at all then please post. The idea is to be left with a completely full DVD iso that lets you do absolutely everything possibly imaginable all in one OS. Im adding all the video/ drawing and music stuff first.

Also there will be every popular modern browser installed with 2 versions of Firefox, one will be the older iceweasel in the debian squeeze repos simply to add a little backwards compatibility and so that the user can get support from the debian chat chans if need be, because they support that firefox version.... and the newest one.

Its going to be quite a task to fill the DVD iso

Im still waiting for proper debian drivers for the Rasp Pi GPU, until that happens, the pussy-pie project is on hold, altho the pussy-pie-server is all ready to go and is available for download.

Ill check in again when i have more news.

sickgut - if you are struggling to fill the dvd can I make a suggestion - I would love to see PXE ability built in - by which I mean that the dvd would contain the live Pussy OS, and also the PXE server functionality (with autostart-at-boot), plus also a copy of the Pussy OS already modified to be netbootable. (I have recently done this with my modified version of PupServer435 and it works well).http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=80620

This would mean that the live dvd would immediately be able to serve Pussy across the home network to any other machine that wanted to boot from the network via PXE (eg: a diskless machine, or thinclient etc).

The user would not have to do any modifying of the pussy files to make them netbootable - it would already have been done and they are just sitting waiting on the dvd ready for a pxe request.

Today i got the idea to scan through Ubuntu Studio's package selection, not because i want to create anything remotely similar but while i am sorting out the audio and video stuff i thought doing this would give me a few ideas and also introduce me to packages that i have no seen/ used/ heard of.

im cross referencing the package names with what is available in the debian repos and i think i have found 5 or 6 that would be good to include in Pussy. While i have been using Linux for quite a few years, i have generally stuck to a limited selection of packages for my own general use and so i am not really savvy to exactly what is out there and ready to use on Linux.

While i have experience with the audio side of things, i have none at all with video/ graphics sort of apps and if any video/ graphics experts would like to PM me or post here the names of the programs they use then i would greatly appreciate it.

Here is a suggestion. Sadly it requires Java something
so that is a security risk? The 3D CGI program Make Human.

http://www.makehuman.org/

They have a Debian download. Would be cool if you tested
if that works with your PussyLinux. http://www.makehuman.org/release

Just a friendly suggestion. The reason I have not been able to test
is that I don't understand the Java install. Computer challenged among other faults

Due to the fact that Pussy has wine installed and working, i welcome everyone to suggest free Windows apps that work on wine. Do you have a cousin or uncle or sibling that develops Windows games or other interesting Windows progs that work on wine? then let me know, i will be more than happy to include the program in Pussy
