Synergy Linux 2 Beta 1 (First Beta Release)
 
Hey just wanted to let everyone know I have added too the noise of new Linux Dsitributions with creating Synergy Linux. For a while I used it for myself but I have decided to push it out too the public for more testing and maybe make it something better for myself as well.

So far it has a few things that are kinda different about it.

1. It has the Ability to install "Live" like a Live USB Key or LiveCD but it can do this on the first device /dev/sda1 no matter what media it is. I use this to save space on my EeePC, 3G of Programs compressed to 580M helps a lot.

2. Also I am using Fedora's KDE testing repository which I have found for the most part to be pretty stable. So there's always the latest version of KDE on the builds

3. In themeing I lean towards Green and not Blue..

4. Even though it's KDE I use Gtk Based Claws-Mail as a client because I am disabling Akonadi and Nepomuk (and Mysql) in the Live environment. Though there's some visual issues with this it's smoothed over pretty well using Oxygen-GTK as the default theme.

5. Unlike Fedora 15 and in the future 16 I did not raise my memory requirements to 640M (768M for Fedora 16), it's still 512M and runs fairly decent at 512M.

So Please give it a try and leave feed back on our forums
