One derivative gives you everything,
and one nothing at all
And the one that git will get you
is the master of them all
Go ask billyball when it was 1000 feet tall
And if you go chasing UNIX,
and you know it's going to fail
Tell them your neck beard had overcome you
and the need was to learn
And call Linus, when he was so small
When the engine of the spiders
take you where to go
And you just had an epiphany
that showed you nothing at all
Go ask Google, they always know
When choices and decisions
have led you to the end
And the watchtower is leading you
to the mint valley
And the redhats and fedoras no longer fit

The first year of VSIDO was to see what the community would really want as it developed. When I first put it together, I really just got it to a point that it could be released and it was roughly my desktop.On subsequent builds, things would get added and I never paid close attention the the cruft that was also getting installed with updates.
When I made the decision to go to just FluxBox, I built it from scratch and one segment at a time and began the build process after each segment to see where and what was happening. Through this process, I was able to use ncdu and really analyze what was going where. This led to a critical look at just what applications made up VSIDO and make better decisions on additional things. Really, the short answer is that I took a clear look at the build and streamlined it
I am quite happy right now with VSIDO and think it is at the point that I can sit back read more
VSIDO 3 Now Available
That’s right, just when you thought it couldn’t get any better! Version 3 released this week, unveiling a slightly new direction for VSIDO. Now a Fluxbox only distro, a smaller LiveUSB image coming in at 412mb just in case you rather have the LiveCD version. For those that are unaware, using a LiveUSB can speed up an install by at least a factor of 10 and is as easy to make as a LiveCD.
The total install once completed averages around 1.6Gb’s of space. Memory resources are also at an all time low.
This build, like it’s predecessors in the past has all the apps and tools at your disposal to be up and productive in less than 4 minutes. That is correct, from a blank hdd to a fully functional OS in less than 4 read more
