Why Flux Capacity? There are so many other distros out there!

While there are countless linux live cds out there, I have found few lightweight live cd's that run at a resonable speed and also few that feature the fluxbox desktop. My intent was to create a fast, fully featured live cd. For a lightweight desktop I find fluxbox to be very efficient, customizable and visually pleasing. I have custom themes included and have written custom scripts to increase usability.

Flux Capacity is a live cd disto based on Arch linux. This combination of Arch linux and Fluxbox results in a feature rich live cd that runs efficiently. I have carefully chosen programs that are lightweight, functional and have a modern interface. For laptop use I have taken advantage of some additional features in the synaptics driver:

• Two finger scroll
• Tap to click
• Two finger tap to right click
• Press F12 or both mouse buttons on a touchpad for middle click - easy for Pasting

Here are some other custom programs I've included:

I have created a simple user interface for starting and stopping some daemons.
There is a command line utility called 'daemon' to make it easy to control daemons.
Here is a full screen shot of Flux in action.
I have also created a user interface to afpfs-ng for mounting and unmounting AFP shares.
