Jason, I haven't used Mint but I love their icon package (tried their menu, but it doesn't fit well for me). For all the Mint goodies, have a look at http://packages.linuxmint.com/pool/main/m/. There, they have folders and subsequent gzipped sources for things like there MintMenu, Icons and artwork, along with a bunch of other stuff.

I'd like to hear from those of you who have worked on Linux distros, especially Linux Mint, Sabayon, Puppy Linux, and antiX Linux. I'm certain that there are better ways of doing things. > > I'd especially like to see examples of code that I should be emulating. > > Can anyone help me make sense of how Linux Mint and Sabayon do things? I've looked at the code for Linux Mint (https://github.com/linuxmint) and Sabayon (https://code.launchpad.net/sabayon), but I can't figure out how you get from Ubuntu to Mint or Gentoo to Sabayon. I can see that there is code for adding certain features or changing certain things, but I haven't figured out the sequence of events leading from the parent distro's ISO file to the final ISO file. That said, I can't ignore the way Mint and Sabayon do things, because these distros are well-established, are derived from another distro, and have a very large following. > > -- > Jason Hsu <jhsu802701 at jasonhsu.com> > Founder and lead developer of Swift Linux (http://www.swiftlinux.org) > _______________________________________________ > TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota > tclug-list at mn-linux.org > http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list >
