The LiveCD Forums

The Backpack Programmer's LiveCD is focused on programmers with many programming utilites (all gcc tools, xxgdb, Gnome and KDE header files, and more) included. It also aims to be a fully-operational, good-looking linux environment -- seriously, what programmer isn't a power-user?

The torrent (and more information) is available at: http://daga.dyndns.org/projects/backpack/
screenshots are available too: http://daga.dyndns.org/images/backpack/

Here are some of the highlights of this Slackware 10.1-based release:

* Dropline-Gnome 2.10
* Python works out-of-the-box
* Sound drivers are now included
* Inclusion of console IRC clients -- irssi and epic
* Removal of some non-essential KDE components
* Internationalization with many languages and locales to choose from
* Menu-driven lauch of Apache, and SSH servers [and firewall modifications for them]

Added, that was LiveCD #250 on the list

A new version of The Backpack Programmer's LiveCD has been released! Upgrades include dropline Gnome 2.12 and Slackware 10.2. It also comes with auto-mounting support, and lots of other minor updates.

Torrent and direct .iso download (new!) are available from: http://daga.dyndns.org/projects/backpack/

This live-cd is targeted for both Desktop users and programmers.
