Re: Tonight's meeting

> "Media Linux"

Have you compared that to say, Movix? I think this project is closer to Knoppix 
than MediaLinux, but has a different take, at least as I understand Knoppix' 
usefulness. Not to take anything away from Knoppix or MediaLinux, kpx is a very 
cool distro.

Is ML more of a "Knoppix with a media *creation* focus" distro? i.e. Gimp, 
sound and video editing tools, codecs, etc.?

Movix is more of a "pseudo-Knoppix with a media *playback* focus" distro. It's 
aim is to be able to pop in the boot CD into a CD/DVD drive, and then once 
running, pop in your media CD/DVD and play. And that's where Knoppix' uber-cool 
auto-detect/configuration would come in handy. Although Movix is not based on 
Knoppix. :=(

Unfortunately, I'd like to attend, but alas, Springfield is a bit far, and I'm 
going to the Cards game tonight. Will anything you present/discuss at the 
meeting be online afterwards? an IRC log? the presentation? posted here?
