1. Yes, it is a Fedora Remix. It is mostly Fedora packages, plus a few RPM Fusion packages, the realtime kernel from PlanetCCRMA, two scripts I wrote and a bunch of little configuration tweaks.
2. Thanks, but I kinda want to draw the logo myself. I want to learn how to make vector graphics. Also, I'd like to avoid complications with selling USB drives with the logo printed on them. Even if someone contributed a freely licensed logo, I feel it wouldn't be cool to make money from their work without splitting some of the profit with them... and I doubt there will be that much profit to start with.

Crossfade GNU/Linux 0.90 is a cross-platform digital DJ system for USB flash and portable hard drives. Crossfade GNU/Linux allows you to use a USB drive with your music collection to DJ on any modern PC (with an x86 or x86_64 CPU), including Apple Macs, using the DJ program Mixxx customized however you like. USB drives with Crossfade GNU/Linux installed on them show up in Windows, Mac OS X, and GNU/Linux as normal USB drives that music or any other data can be copied onto. Unlike ordinary USB drives, they can also be used to boot Crossfade GNU/Linux. After rebooting, the PC will be back to how it was before. See the manual included in the torrent for installations instructions.

Crossfade GNU/Linux and Mixxx are free software--free as in artistic freedom, not just price. You are free and encouraged to use, copy, *share*, and modify this software however you wish and share your changes with the community here. Sharing Crossfade GNU/Linux can be a great way to encourage friends to start DJing or introduce DJs who use proprietary software such as Traktor, Serato Scratch, Serato Itch, or Virtual DJ to free software without having to commit to installing anything on their PC.
Crossfade GNU/Linux is setup with a realtime Linux kernel for optimal performance. It includes the Xfce graphical desktop environment, Midori web browser, and Clementine music player. It has a number of other programs for live musical performance including the Hydrogen drum machine, SooperLooper and Giada loopers, Guitarix electric guitar amplifier, Rakarrak guitar effects board, Ardour digital audio workstation,Audacity wave editor, and many LV2 and LADSPA audio effects plugins. Additionally, Crossfade GNU/Linux includes utilities that make it useful as a computer rescue system, such as the GParted partition manager, GNU GRUB bootloader, TestDisk data recovery program, FSArchiver filesystem backup program, and MATE Disk Usage Analyzer. Crossfade GNU/Linux is a Fedora Remix containing software from sources other than Fedora, namely RPMFusion and PlanetCCRMA, as well as scripts and configuration specific to Crossfade GNU/Linux.
To do: -Confirm that USB drives are readable by CDJs. I do not have CDJs so help would be appreciated! (DJ Pegasus also mentioned it should be readable by his car stereo... o.O) -A logo and desktop background. I have a sketch on paper for a logo. Now I need to learn how to use Inkscape. -Internationalization. Does anyone want to volunteer to translate the liveusb-install script and manual?
I am thinking about ordering custom USB drives with the logo printed on them to sell with Crossfade preloaded. They would be either 16, 32, or 64 GB, depending on how much it would cost to make each of those. They would be metal cylinders with tight screw-on caps. The caps would be able to attach to key rings. I will try to get USB 3.0 drives if possible. I don't know what the price would be yet, but I am thinking somewhere from $10-25 USD. Would anyone be interested in buying that? How much would you be willing to pay for it? _______________________________________________ music mailing list music@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/music
Be,
I am familiar with this thing, "linux", and really your little distro sounds interesting and, as I have a need for something like this for a party coming up in two weeks, I might just try it out.
Two questions:
- is it Fedora-based or are you just promoting it here based on the
music aspect? 2. where can I find your logo sketch? I can't make any promises, but I know my way around inkscape.
Cheers,
Klaatu _______________________________________________ music mailing list music@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/music
