Jamesbond and myself are announcing Fatdog64-500 final.
This is a complete 64 bit build with the T2 trunk:
Xorg 7.5
GCC 4.4.3
Cups 1.4.2
Gimp 2.6.8
FireFox 3.6.6
Kino 1.3.4
HandBrake snv 2/2010
Ripperx 2.7.2
openbox / Lxpanel
linux-2.6.34
Blackberry modem support for Verizon.
Xine-UI 0.99.6
libxine 1.1.18.1
x11vnc
TightVNC-viewer
Pidgin 2.7.0
Lots of other stuff!
Xorg auto configures itself and the default keyboard is "US" and the default timezone is gmt -5. You can change these in the setup menu. The old xorgwizard is still there, renamed xorgwizard-old. If you want a detailed xorg.conf go to Menu - Setup - Xorg Video Wizard.
Firefox (see note) runs as user spot, anything you download goes into the Downloads folder on the desktop. At the first shutdown, after making your save file, you'll be asked if you want to move the Downloads folder to the same place as your save file. Most will want to answer yes to that.
Fatdog64-500 uses many scripts from Woof, but Fatdog64 is not built using Woof due to Fatdog being 64bit.

I've uploaded the iso, devx, sources and all extra packages built with T2 here:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... ns/fatdog/
or
ftp://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dist ... ns/fatdog/
.
The T2-packs folder contains all the binary packages the T2 build produced, many not included in the iso.
*Note: The goal for Fatdog is to have web applications run as a non-privileged user. Not in the traditional sense where you log in as a non-privileged user and all of your personnel files are accessible by that user as well. But we log in as root for convenience and in recognition that your personal files are just as important as system files, in fact much more important. Applications that access the internet, Firefox, Xine, Sylpheed, and Pidgin all run as user spot. Spot can only write to a few limited places. Given the lack of virus/trojan attacks for linux type systems this is probably paranoia, but this setup causes little inconvenience for the extra security.
