| ==== Custom Distribution ==== I was working with the Enterprise Linux kids but they went nowhere really, really fast. But I transitioned and been off and on creating a custom respin of vanilla Ubuntu with a theme based on [[http://www.misfits.com/|the Misfits]]. It's kinda sad because I should have already finished it long ago. Eh, but I'm back on it and almost finished. I learned about creating custom Usplashes and found [[http://www.remastersys.klikit-linux.com/|Remastersys]] to create the ISO image. This is intended to help someone become interested and then comfortable with Ubuntu and Linux in general. Whatever it takes, man. ==== FOSS Music Project ==== |

Special Projects
FOSS Music Project
Basically, this is a HOWTO to show complete Linux newbies how to install and use Ubuntu Studio using modest hardware. Therefore, it will showcase a very select crash course in Linux, Ubuntu and Ubuntu Studio.
The focus will mainly be on recording music from a rock/metal band consisting of guitars, bass, drums (live and Hydrogen) and vocals. Sorry, don't know diddle about electronica or MIDI at this point.
It will also include basics about mixing and mastering music gathered from books, experience and very cool forums that include people with multiple gold records on their walls.
