Main post edited. Here's a comparison of everything the project used to be, compared with what I'm currently planning it as:
Used to be:
* Almost entirely equivalent to the regular Linux Mint setup, with Arch-specific tweaks.
* Its own default setup with its own packages.
* Its own artwork.
* Tried to blend simplicity on both ends of the spectrum by having an Arch base.
What's currently planned:
* Very basic setup, only including the packages you need. Net-install by default.
* Completely modular setup, with the default being the bare basics.
* No unique artwork.
* Only being simple with installation/initial configuration. Everything else is vanilla.
Some other bonuses that I'm
planning but might not come for a while are as follows:
* Optional pre-defined setups. Some of these may be clones of other desktops (Mint/Ubuntu/Windows, for example), while most will be vanilla installations and "developer picks".
* CD Remastering tool, to create images containing your own personal setup. (MAYBE this could also make LiveCDs as well in the future)
This project's completely mint-independent, though it will have an installation option for the Mint tools. I'll post later with a slightly more official project page
!
PS: What should I call this?
