pablokal · 2011-12-03 15:37:32

It is not often that I am in awe for a new distro, but livarp 0.3 managed to do it.
It is the dream distro for DE/WM hoppers: http://arpinux.org/arpwiki/doku.php/start:livarp_03_gb
Everything looks beautiful, even the distros forum: http://arpinux.org/forum/index.php

light & stable: livarp is based on Debian Squeeze, one of the most stable ditro atm.
anynoob-inside livarp is made for every user that can read and want to discover alternatives window-managers.
6 sessions available from live to install: dwm, echinuswm, evilwm, pekwm, wmfs et wmaker.
livarp est grey
composite management with xcompmgr.
no graphical session-manager: your session is launched by startx, then a clean zenity dialog window appears to let you choose your session.
a unified menu for every session handled by compiz-deskmenu.
applications

file-manager: rox-filer - ranger

i don't mush more to write as the wiki speaks for me...
oh
one more thing, important:
a very big THANK YOU !! to corenominal, to let me know about the "terminal" during my first installation of crunchbang7.10, to give me tips & advices about livecd building procedure, and for the way he's computing.. i've learned a lot with crunch, and livarp couldn't be done without that .. smile

a_movingtarget · 2011-12-07 03:21:53

This looks very cool. C'est bon! Sorry, my french is horrible. cool

arpinux · 2011-12-07 04:36:18

sorry guys but my forum has been hack tonight ... but the wiki is still available . sorry for thr inconvenient.

klanger · 2011-12-07 06:29:40

Arp, is it me, or the livarp-iso are not equipped with wicd/nm-applet etc?

Anyway great work!

arpinux · 2011-12-07 11:22:56

hi klanger smile
and no, it's not you, i don't have any network-manager in livarp. you have to install it yourself if you need to...
..
the forum is still down ... i think i'm gonna close it.. hmm
i'm really sorry as there is no specific support anymore for livarp.. maybe it was not the right time to get it out big_smile

a_movingtarget · 2011-12-07 15:34:14

It's still really great work. I will probably actually install it on a secondary hard drive on my desktop at home to "play" with all those cool WMs. Love the login/environment choice, too. Plus, the post install script had me brusing up on the 3 years of French I had in my undergrad days!

arpinux · 2011-12-07 16:19:01

hi guys, sorry but my server has been hacked so, dont' go to any of my website arpinux.org or derivate (arpwiki, arpforum), a friend of mine had some trouble with my website so please, dont go ..
sorry for my blog/wiki/forum, but i don't have capabilities to solve the problem, so that's it, end of the game..
thanks for support
arnault

arpinux · 2011-12-07 20:21:30

arpinux.org is clean now, but i have to make it from scratch ... it can take some time.
thx for support, and kind messages..
follow http://arpinux.org .. it's a rebirth wink

chameleon · 2011-12-07 21:07:07

I wish arpinux all the very best in getting back up to speed.
This has made me very sad and disappointed tonight.

Bon Chance with the rebirth.

arpinux · 2011-12-07 21:11:48

thx a lot for your support my friend.. i really appreciate smile
i'm focused on the wiki reconstruction at the moment, i wish i could provide livarp support as soon as possible...

aaro · 2011-12-07 23:20:40

Sorry to hear about your server. Looking for the rebirth, you've done a great job!

May be not the best moment to ask, but are there any plans for making a 64bits version? or is your intention to keep it 'old hardware' oriented?

Thanks for all your work and keep on.

arpinux · 2011-12-07 23:48:40

^^ as i don't have 64b machines, i can't build livarp64 but the sources are available if someone wants to build it smile
and thx again for support

There is a poetic saying in Dutch, which in English would be something like:
everything that is of real value, is without defence.

That must apply to this situation too.
Hope you will not be too much demoralized.

gutterslob · 2011-12-08 15:53:26

Very nice work, Arp.
I like the idea of a distro employing multiple minimalist window managers by default.

Sorry to hear about your site getting pwned, but it shows you're famous enough for someone to get jealous of.
You have a great name, my friend. You must kill your name before it kills you. tongue

wlourf · 2011-12-08 16:05:35

Hi arp ! For the 64 bit, just ask on the french forum, I think I can do it smile

arpinux · 2011-12-08 16:42:14

@gutterslob, a very big "thank you" my friend, you've always been here with me big_smile
@wlourf ... sure i'll do it smile

**NEWS**
I'm Back !! ... so, sorry for the last 48 hours, but livarp gb wiki is available, i rewrote the wiki, made a new startpage... clean all files, no problems, you can come wink
so see you soon on http://arpinux.org

corvo · 2011-12-08 18:06:12

@wlourf: That would be awesome! big_smile

@arpinux: Excellent work! You certainly did a fantastic job on producing such an excellent live cd. What I like most about it is that it is 99% free software. Flash is a necessary evil at the moment, so I don't blame you for including it. The good thing is that it won't be too long before everything moves over to HTML 5 technology. smile

@anyone who wouldn't mind providing an opinion: Do you think that there is an advantage of using a 64-bit OS vs a 32-bit OS with a PAE kernel on a 64-bit system? I've read some mixed opinions about the matter and I was hoping someone could clear this up.

rstrcogburn · 2011-12-08 18:08:32

just saw this..

@arp

since it's you buddy, definitely gonna give it a go

debianita · 2011-12-10 06:51:30

OMG guys great work... looks great distro i wish to try in any moment..
Thanks for sharing this smile
greetings
