Project: Geubuntu Gnu - Linux
http://www.geubuntu.intilinux.com/Home.html
Geubuntu is a complete and fully functional operative system based on the popular Linux Distribution Ubuntu. Geubuntu, a project started and designed by the Italian artist Luca D.M. (aka TheDarkMaster) is perfect for any Desktop, Laptop PC or even for a Virtual Machine. Geubuntu mixes the power and simplicity of Ubuntu and parts of the Gnome Desktop with the wonder and astonishing eye-candy of Enlightenment DR17
Geubuntu will be a new experience for any user trying to run a stand-alone E17 Desktop in the past. To know exactly what Enlightenment is, we suggest you visit the Home Page of the project. On the user side, E17 appears as an incredibly nice looking Desktop Shell, composed of a Window Manager, a full set of libraries, a Desktop and a collection of modules and applications. In this stage, Enlightenment alone is not enough to make you desktop fully functional, and it's strange that so many people are especting Enlightenment to become a full Desktop Environment like Gnome, KDE or XFCE.
That's where Geubuntu comes in. Geubuntu completes the missing parts of the E17 Desktop Shell and WM with a certain number of tools and applications from the Gnome Desktop. This is only natural, after all: it would be crazy to believe that E17 should provide a full set of applications based on ETK instead of GTK!
In Geubuntu you can find a classic Ubuntu set of applications mixed with those provided and created from and for E17. You'll experience a finally usable and productive Enlightenment 0.17 Desktop!
Performance and advantages
Enlightenment is a light weight Desktop Shell, so your computer will run at a very high speed with incredible 2D effects, such as animations, fading, shadows and much more. E17 doesn't need a 3D card for all of its effects to run properly and Xcompmgr is provided by default in Geubuntu for you to try out every composite effect (Like real transparencies and shadows) any time you want to. If you find that Xcompmgr doesn't slow down your computer too much, you can even run it as a startup application in Enlightenment. What's incredible about E17 and Xcompmgr is that since they don't need a 3D video card to run perfectly, you will be able to have an astonishing level of eye-candy even on a relatively old computer and even on a Virtual Machine! Ubuntu alone could never provide such beaty without Compiz and a fully working 3D video card.
Our Goals
Geubuntu is designed to become a completely community based OS, with the goal of a better and perfect integration between E17 and Gnome. We need programmers, coders, hackers, anyone able to modify certain aspects of this distro so that it can be a better and less confusing User experience. My name is Luca De Marini and I'm an Italian designer, I'm not a coder. Geubuntu is a strong idea I and InTiLinux Projects believe in. We just have to make it blossom even better than how it has done in this first release, Geubuntu 7.04 - Prima Luna. Every new-comer will be welcome, as long as he can help somehow the project! For that reason too, if you’re not a programmer, click on the Contribute link to know how to help Geubuntu aniway.

R1: deb packages for Geubuntu Prima Luna (Feisty)
by darkmaster on 24 Oct 2007 09:09
Average rating:
We need debian packagers and mantainers. We already have the place and space to create a Geubuntu repository, now what’s missing is someone to take care of the repo and someone able to create deb packages. We need a lot of deb packages to create a wonderful Geubuntu 7.10 - Luna Nuova! You can see all of the packages needed here:

R2: A working version of Reconstructor for Ubuntu Gutsy Live CD
by darkmaster on 24 Oct 2007 09:15
Average rating:
Geubuntu is build using Reconstructor:
http://reconstructor.aperantis.com/
Unfortunately, this tool doesn't work with the Ubuntu Gutsy Live CD correctly. It is impossible to set username and password. This is necessary in Geubuntu, since it uses Entrance instead of GDM and Entrance needs the user to insert username and pass even on a Live CD. So, after the deb packages creation, we'll need a working and easy way to build a custom Ubuntu Live CD version. If you think you can help, please contact the Reconstructor team or if you can build very easily a custom Ubuntu Live CD without reconstructor, contact us. See our home page in the Project description. Please, remember that Geubuntu is a really huge customization of Ubuntu, so it won't be easy to build it without any helping tool.0 Comments on "A working version of Reconstructor for Ubuntu Gutsy Live CD" (Show)
