I downloaded the new FreeSBIE 2.0.1 release. It is very nice. The only thing I would have liked extra is to have Xfce start automatically from boot rather than to have to type in startx. People new to Unix like systems could find this difficult as the command is explained after the screenshots in the documentation. On the other hand it could mean more people read the release notes and find out how to do more with it.

I would encourage everyone who uses Linux to download the CD image and try it out. You may find you like it.

I’ve been working with FreeSBIE to have a live CD where you can try a compiz or beryl. I’m currently working on getting the basic xorg.conf file working correctly. The current code can be found here. It will build an ISO image with Xorg, compiz and beryl installed. Unfortunately I havn’t managed to get either compiz or beryl to run yet so would like a hand from anyone who has.
