The Winspee 3.0 wiki

Winspee 3.0 is based on Debian 7 Wheezy and is designed to be simple and lightweight. Winspee started when I was about 10 years old and my family couldn't afford a computer and the biggest thing I wanted was to learn programming. When I went to school most of the time they just put me on computers, some without games, as I was deemed unteachable. So for the last few years I learned more about Linux and built releases and sent them to friends and it didn't really catch on. It's original design was to be used on older computers because I couldn't afford one and I thought maybe there's someone out there like me who couldn't get one (even in this huge 1st world part of the world). Then it kind of expanded from that idea and became programming oriented and I have a lot of plans for the next release. Winspee 3.0 is just about a year old (Winspee itself is almost 2 years old) but I need volunteer help to make the next version better.

Feel free to break Winspee, it is meant to be break-friendly. Just about anything can be fixed. I didn't build Winspee to compete with Windows or Mac OSX, or even something like Ubuntu. I just built it as a learning tool and make computers something people won't be afraid of. Well that's the end of that. I wanted to put a little back story here so people could understand what I stand for in this project.

If you are in support of this idea you can send a donation. I recommend you use it (excuse the bugs), don't just read this and decide. You can send donations using the official Winspee Development Team website which is www.unitycommunity.wix.com/twdt

Updates and bugfixes:

Fixed the awkward messed up background on the main screen.

Removed the Live Chat server using IRC (suggestions are welcome to use a new server as I deemed the previous one as inappropriate)

startx is no longer required. Uses slim as the login manager.

Known bugs:

This version won't be able to use Live. I'm not sure if that's because I used a VM to test this or if this is a bug in regards to live-build. I updated it without making any changes to the base configurations. Shows initramfs/busybox instead.
