Any of a specialized distro, a shared VM, a pallet or vagrant script would be a good idea, because the point of such an offering is for *getting started*. For those who have never set up a Clojure environment, being able to interact with an existing setup and take out the parts they want would

What *I* would very much like to see is something along the lines of http://www.informatimago.com/linux/emacs-on-user-mode-linux.html but with the JVM running Clojure directly on top of the Linux kernel. Plus some editor/IDE to hack comfortably (Clooj?). This cannot be done easily since the sto

It might be worth looking into Puppy Linux. It is quite easy to make a derivative of of it and the community around it (forums, irc etc.) Is one of the friendliest I've found if you get stuck. In addition to this it is very small so ideal for running in a VM. -- You received this message becau

Hi, This is a very interesting idea. It would have been of great use when I did a Clojure workshop with complete beginners, with all kinds of OSes (Windows, OSX, ...). I took the "Completely packaged VirtualBox image" approach, but it is still a big mess: Not everyone have VirtualBox installed (o

It could be possible to do all this by using package manager's like apt or pacman. Create a package that depends on the software that is allready available from the debian repository and provides all the missing software. I think pacman in Arch linux could handle the same by using package groups.

I like this idea a lot. My suggestions would be to base it on something like Lubuntu. I have Ubuntu installed as dual-boot, but I tend to do most of my work in Win7, so having a performance-oriented, small linux distro installed inside VirtualBox helps if I don't want to reboot.

I don't like to reboot eithere, but you can run this into a VM. Also, I have already tried SUSE Studio. It has too much bloat to be considered viable, plus SUSE is slowly dying. On Friday, May 25, 2012 3:31:43 PM UTC+5, thorwil wrote: > > On 05/24/2012 10:11 PM, banseljaj wrote: > > > So I hav
