Borderless Linux help... website, and web hosting

ryclegman · 2009-03-27 20:37:52

Im sure as you guys know borderless linux is a distro thet is a live cd based of arch in the Gnome form. We just lost our hosting by a close guy to the group., im sure he left because we haven't been real active, but i can tell you this, that we just bought a dedicated machine just for borderless, and will be working with sean on it on Sunday. When we lost hosting by him, we lost the site, the forums, and the wiki, just about all of our documentation. I would like if someone could recreate the site, maybe if they want to redo the site all together, or just redo some and add a SMF forums and wiki. Im just using bluehost now, but would rather have it on a dedicated web server. We do have one guy who has volunteered for working on the wiki and forums for us, but would also like another, or a generous person who will just host the site for us. as of right now we have no forums obviously, so that why im coming here, at least since its the base off distro. If you cant or dont have the time, no biggie we will figure something out! lol im praying we will have a new release out at least lol, or our borderless linux mercury 1.0 ..... Thanks to everyone, and especially those who may consider helping!

Thanks,
ryclegman

<- use to redirect to borderless-linux.org so it really is done, we just have the old site up..

How much bandwidth would you need approximately?

If you're desperate I have a dedicated web server at home that I run a couple of sites off.

hmmm, i don't think that much.. but when we release 1.0 i think we may have more than normal..

Thanks!:)

I just want to give a fair warning to anyone who is considering do any work with the borderless team, be very careful and cautious.

@ryclegman The least you can do is have a link to the arch site. Also, I think it's pretty low that you have a donate button on the site at this point in time considering the majority of the project is arch.

@ pyther we lost our site and documentation, its our old site like i said, it basically the beginning site that we started out with. The guy we were working with didnt feel like helping anymore... and he didnt feel like giving back any of the site so we lost it all.... if you saw our site we lost we had links to all the arch info and on everything... Its just a temporary site till we get the next release out and new site hosted.. hope you can understand

@ryclegman

As we and earlier the guys at ubuntu forum had advised, please think first about why you want to have another distro, whom it is targeted at, what is it that differentiate you distro from others. IMHO there is no point in having another badly made ubuntu clone.

If you are trying to make a userfriendly Arch, help out with chakra project. I am sure they will be glad to have a few more helping hands. And if you really want the DE to be gnome(as you had with borderless), you can try to make a gnome version for chakra . They have done a lot of work on a gui based installer , why do you want to reinvent the wheel.

There was very weird thread about this 'distro' few months ago on this forum. Can be found I guess if somebody wants to read and I would agree with warning that pyther gave.

I just can't find the borders in Arch. but maybe that's just me

Mr Green · 2009-03-30 11:53:22

I would never discourage anyone creating there own distro, it takes time and effort to run a distro something which many simply do not have.

Arch is a base and you build on that make it your own...

Dreamhost would be your best bet for hosting, share the cost and its really not that expensive....

I am watching this thread!

Well i guess there may not be another need for a distro, but it has a;ways been a goal of mine to create one. It isnt a Ubuntu repeat either. Last time i checked we are only really using Gnome which is what makes it like it, and still we have integrated a dock and other things to make it our own look. If people think im looking for money im not at all! i am just extremely focused on making our own distro which is extremely eye friendly. Iv asked for help with hosting the site and recreating it....... We bought a computer for Borderless to be dedicated on so we arnt just not doing anything. If remaining quite until we finish the next release would make some happy i will, i was jsut wondering if anyone would like to help... lol im not begging or anything

If the chakra disto would except My other buddy and me to create a gnome edition i would be in for sure!

Is there any new image of your gnome-arch? beta2 seems to be old.

hughesco · 2009-06-03 18:44:24

Did this issue die, I see nothing on the site.

fukawi2 · 2009-06-03 22:39:59

I contacted the OP to offer assistance with the site, I got a reply saying thanks and I'll be in touch but haven't heard anything back *shrugs*
