Pyramid 1.0b6 is available for download: http://dl.metrix.net/support/dist/ Pyramid is binary linux distro for use on x86 embedded platforms. It is primarily focused on wireless applications ... [More] however people have found many great uses for it. We primarily develop and test Pyramid for Metrix Kits, but it works well on other x86 based hardware as well. Check the WorkingHardware page for more info or add to it if you find hardware not listed that works with Pyramid. Who maintains pyramid? Pyramid was created at Metrix Communication LLC, and is still maintained there, but bringing more people on board the Pyramid team to move the OS further has always been the plan. The goal has always been to make Pyramid as flexible as possible, while still operating within the restraints of it's target hardware. Our hope is that by moving the code and wiki to Google Code, we will be able to speed some things up as well as avoid the hassle of hosting it ourselves. Supporting Pyramid Development? One easy way to support Pyramid is by choosing to buy gear from Metrix. In addition if there is hardware you want supported in Pyramid, donating such hardware to the project will help get support in Pyramid and make sure its tested from release to release. We have a lot of stuff, but we don't have every strange card that gets released every couple of months. Testing Obviously QA and Testing is a big part of release management, and we have very little formal framework set up for this, which is why all releases up to this point have been considered BETA. If you interested in helping us build a test framework, it would be appreciated. Mailing Lists We've moved our mailing lists to a single Google Group, and the old archives from 2006-2008 haven't been lost, but they're not online anymore (the dingo ate my mailman!) If someone shows interest, I'm sure they can be brought back online. This wiki here (now at google code) aims to be the main source of documentation for Pyramid. If you are a Pyramid user or developer you are encouraged to use this wiki to document your work to share with others. [Less]

Dark OS Linux distribution is a (non-official) folk of Ubuntu Linux, the most used distribution by end-users, specially "beginners with Linux". Personally, i tried a lot of distribution, and the one ... [More] which better worked for me was Ubuntu. But Ubuntu has 2 main "problems" or things that I dislike. first of all, the amount of "everyday-use" software packages isn't very big, and many of them are "incomplete", for example, music player can't play mp3 files, because of no codecs present. The other one is that the artwork, which is something like "retro" (and most part of Ubuntu users think the same). So, i decided to build my own customized distribution from Ubuntu, which contains a lot more of -useful- packages for the "beginners" and "not-so beginners" who are tired of having to install a lot of things don't included in Ubuntu, and a new, modern, artwork for Gnome (plus Beryl). So, the main features and changes from Ubuntu are: - A lot of new packages, containing what i consider "everyday" software, and drivers, codecs, etc Ubuntu didn't include. - New artwork (Gnome, GDM, wallpaper, etc) - Beryl desktop effects engine, which provides the most advanced and impressive "look" available for Linux. - Specially designed for beginners, and for regular users, (almost) all you need is on the DVD. - It includes Spanish and English languaje files, though it's fully compatible with all the languages Ubuntu supports. - Live CD based on Ubuntu Live CD.
