recently, the openoffice community har released an extensions for OpenOffice (works from 2.1, but better on 2.2)

*LilyPond for OpenOffice.org*
- http://ooolilypond.sourceforge.net/

OOoLilyPond is a macro for OpenOffice.org that simplifies the integration of music notation in OpenOffice.org Writer of Impress. It can be used to write a book on music theory or to write down exercises for music instruments or voices which need to be commented with lots of text.

to using ilypond with OpenOffice writer, to writing technic music books with musical examples, do you think adding lilypond to DLC may require more much RAM and system resources or not? it it' possible, I think DCL can be a valid resource to have, already setted lilypond and openoffice

Ah.... the curse of the "distro junkies"!

I'm trying dcl2008 out for fun, but am about to be rebuilding a PC for my church office. So, if I like it there's a good chance it'll become a file server and back-up repository.

Hmm; as I type I realise that the server edition might make more sense. Well; I'll take a look and give some feedback.

Server Edition isn't even started yet, so I don't think It will be around for a month at least.

I got Open Office 2.2 for my private install here and it works good on my Pentium M laptop. I think that with a full install Open Office should run pretty good, You have 256MB ram right?

I see you CoBlitzed Mirror 2 already; I think it would help out caneri to CoBlitz the Mirror 1 link too.

And here's a metalink; that way people don't have to choose which mirror, and their download will be combined from several sources
dcl2008.iso.metalink

it has the following URLs in it:

Have you run OpenOffice sfs with DCL? I seem not to succeed doing that. :)

I used the pet packages available in the manager. Accually I got openoffice_cutdown3-2.2.0.pet and openoffice_mozilla-2.2.0.pet from ibiblio.org, I could make a DCL 2008 Open Office Edition if you would like.

DCL

I downloaded DCL and changed the font sizes and installed the Nvidia driver. I really like it so far. A very nice implementation of XFCE.
How about DCL= Damn Cool Linux.

Hi Brandon

VERY IMPRESSIVE - just fired up DCL and like it lots and my initial thoughts were, this is a Damn Cool Linux and that was before I read above post's - so for me at least -
DCL = Damn Cool Linux.

Still finding my way around - so for the moment

Best regards and many thanks for a very nicely presented 3.01 based DCLpuppy.

Unintended consequences?! A tiny number of other versions/distros can do it, but not many. Installed DCL in an overweight SiS machine on an IDE line with 80w cable, too much memory, nV card and a massively clocked Athlon. Swapped the drive to a clapped out, clocked 370Celery with 128Mb, onboard video, VIA chipset and a 40w cable. Instant GUI boot up without any editing!

Successful re-detection of HW saves me huge amounts of time with test rigs. Most distros panic or crash.

Nice one.

Huh! Just one little glitch. My Logitech mouse has turned into a ~1cmx1cm white square with two thin vertical black lines. It works if I use the top lhs to point, I don't know how to change the mouse image in Xfce??

Behave yourself ! Brandon might be looking for a similar mouse to yours to seek a resolution to your problem...

Remember miracles we do the impossible takes a little longer.

On the subject of a little longer can anyone confirm the suspicion that the Talking Stick has been put on the fire. I am suffering eye strain looking for it

I'm happy to hear everyone likes DCL. I have decided to make the name just DCL because its simple. I'm not sure about the mouse at this point, as far as I know it uses the default X mouse. But I will keep trying.

Oh and Its a good thing I use CoBlitz, before it my server was using 3GB of bandwidth a day. Now its down to about 350MB
