This operating system looks AMAZING for schooling, Eeems, :w00t: and I've been an avid user of Ubuntu for many years. I was just wondering if it would be possible to run the OS directly from the USB/CD without installation (similar to Ububtu's LiveCD), so as to use it with school or work restrictions in place. The inclusion of that many amazing programs inbuilt (Wine, OpenOffice.org, ChatZilla, TI Tools?) is just pure win, beats the [insert profanity here] out of any mainstream distros I know.

This swill work perfectly from a CD/USB

EDIT:
Also I wonder... if it comes with TiLP, can I use it from VMware without getting rid of my TI-Connect? O.O

Wouldn't you have to set up the VMware to use the port you plugged your calc into?

EDIT2: sorry about the double post.

EDIT3:fixed it now

@DJ: that is the default theme, but yes, there will be darker and lighter themes, and when I get around to it, a special omnimaga theme as well ( which will be default )

you would just pass on the USB device.

thanks! My main goal for this is to actually make it installable later, but a live cd is just as good :) I really hope it lives up to this praise and I develop it more, since there is more yet to add to it :)

Alright some updates, I haven't actually done anything to the os since yesterday, but I have been working on an extension for it, a post notifier :) So far I just have the framework in place, but nothing for getting/parsing the xml and then showing the newest posts, but here is how it looks :)
( Notice how I accidentally left the code I was working on in it up in the background :P )

I think he was referring to a leet spoon:



haha that was funny :]

(I actually don't get the joke, sorry Eeems, either it's too sophisticated for me or I'm just tired or it's an inside joke that you accidentally forgot was an inside joke :P)

That explains why I didn't know it. I've never seen the matrix and don't know much about it except for the purple powder...

Made some progress, almost got it to the point that it will report posts,
I ran into a problem where gjs doesn't have any libraries for xml ( well there is libxml2 but I can't make heads or tail over how it's suppose to be used, and I think it's just a dummy entry for now ) so I was able to get something that will convert it into json for me so I can use it ( http://www.blastcasta.com/convert-feed-to-json.aspx which gives me http://www.poweringnews.com/feed-to-json.aspx?feedurl=http%3A//www.omnimaga.org/%3Faction%3D.xml%3Btype%3Drss ) so now I can load the json and figure out if there are new posts :D
