Howdy folks!

I'm working on linuxOS - my goal is to bring linux experience to Computer Craft!

But I can't do this alone. So I need your help!

Throw me some ideas for stuff to be added! This is a list of accepted things:

Spoiler
  • Pacman - Package manager (Idea by me)
  • Login system with multi user support and separate home folders (Idea by me)
  • Nano - Nano-like file editor (Idea by me)
  • Ln - Symlinks (Idea from someone out there ;)/>)
  • SSH - SSH Pompt via HTTP (Idea by me)
  • Install package generator (Idea by me)
  • Mindf*ck compiler - Little coding language to program turtles quickly (Idea by me)
  • Remote turtle control (Idea by me)
  • etc/rc.d Directory - like Autorun (Idea by TehSomeLuigi)




And please don't link me to other threads, I want it to be 100% coded by me (so no incompatibility problems).



I've started work on code. I'll try to keep it kinda up-to-date on my github.

In the os forum you only should make topics if you already have code

I don't know if you can pull this linuxOS thing off, but here are my ideas:

- file permissions (rwxrwxrwx)
- users & groups

- ability to add a hashbang/shebang to script files that will run them with any program.
- /etc/rc.d/
(boot directory)

- file permissions (rwxrwxrwx)
No real point in it
- users & groups
Already on the list
- ability to add a hashbang/shebang to script files that will run them with any program.
No real point in that since only language is Lua.
- /etc/rc.d/
(boot directory)
Great! Added!

OK…

-- Startup file
print("linuxOS 0.001a Veery Dev Version")
print("Contains bugs")
sleep(1)
os.shutdown()

-> Maybe I want to let my friend A access my files but not B?

-> I have a shell script runner that I'm working on, and maybe some people have other things that they want running with other things? It happens.


- /etc/rc.d/
(boot directory)
Great! Added!

I didn't knew that.

PS I hope you don't feel insulted. Idea of owning an idea is so ridiculous that I had to post this meme ;)/>
