Untested vinux/ubuntu 9.04 x64 ISO available

[Bill Cox]

I have put a "developer" version of "vinux" on my home server which in
theory is similar to vinux 1.5, but based on Ubuntu 9.04 x64.  It
requires a DVD or USB key to install, since it's about 1.2G.  I've
labeled it 'alpha1', but that's generous, since I've never tried
installing it!  I don't have another machine capable of it right now.

If anyone has a machine and time to test it, I would appreciate it.
Your machine should have >= 1gig RAM, be 64-bit capable, and it should
have a fairly recent ATI or Nvidia graphics card capable of supporting
Compiz.  If you succeed in installing it, I recommend installing the
voxin Viavoice package, as described in the document on the desktop.

This version installs the most recent source code for atk, at-spi, and
orca, in your home directory.  It also pulls packages from Ubuntu's
'proposed' repository, and it has many developer tools pre-installed.

The ISO is at:

Your download speed will be pretty pathetic, since I only have about
40KB/sec upload.  If I can get the first major bugs fixed, I'll respin
the ISO, and find a nicer home for it.

Thanks,
Bill
