mbuntu
Status Update 15/01: Thanks to a kind donation from stryd's neighbour, we now have a box dedicated to mbuntu development. Now working out the finer points of the interaction between apps and also some config tricks. mbuntu's beginnings are stryd_one's full-time operating system on three machines, so it could be said that it's coming along OK, or you wouldn't be reading this ;)
Status Update 07/09: Script is coming along slowly. Still screening apps and learning the ins and outs of packaging.
If you would like to install a few things to figure out what's the “best” tool for a certain job, shout out!
If you know about .deb packaging, we'd love any advice you can offer :)
Upcoming stuff:
Harvesting packages in 64studio/CCRMA/Ubuntu Studio and screening them for inclusion. (See below for links)
Plugin section
Harvesting links of how-to's for stuff that must be done manually (damn)
