After many requests I have spent the time to build a stripped down version of Pinguy OS.

This is a base version of the OS, it has all my tweaks optimization and fixes done to it. The look and feel of it is the same as the full version but it comes with very little installed in way of apps. It still has Docky, Conky, Mint menu, and Gloobus Preview. All the things so it looks the same as the full version but doesn't come with as many apps pre-installed. Apart from what I class as base apps it only comes with Mplayer, Firefox, Java, flash, gedit, terminal and the software center.

I wanted to strip as much out of the OS but still keep it so that all the content thats on the web works out of the box. Flash, java, divx ect.

Both the 32bit and 64bit are under 700MB. This version is for people that know what apps they want to install and don't like the idea of the full version, you pick what you want to installed.

I have the 32bit version downloading as we speak, and will give the 64bit a go as well. Installing the core PgOS tweaks and customizations without the many extras that end up uninstalled anyway means this should be a highly popular release! Thank you Pinguy!

Mr. Pinguy, I want to thank you for listening !!! Wink

Right now and at this moment you make me want to hug you and cry! I, too, am downloading the 64-bit version (as I type this) and will install onto my Desktop as soon as the download is complete. I am very excited. Again, Thank you! Biggrin

Hi, I also like this mini version, you could also include a "Post Install Script", which asks if we want to install other apps bundled in main pinguy OS (and others too) and download and install selected items.. We could include items like wine, vlc, chrome etc..

Yes its using the downgraded Compiz.

Pinguy any thoughts on why that down grade also reduces the quality of my full screen video? Before the down grade compiz on 11.04 was the first time I had perfect quality. I reinstalled the pre-downgrade and all is well again.

Thanks KQ
