Libre Graphics Suite is a custom Fedora-based Linux LiveCD with graphics and design tools.
The code repository is hosted at [[https://gitorious.org/libregraphicsmag/distro | Gitorious]].

===Current version===
The current version v0.1 is currently being tailored together.

===Planning===
The idea is to have a basic, clean LiveCD targeted especially towards:
  * Graphic design students
  * Graphic designers who might be interested in an alternative to their proprietary tools
  * Anyone interested in designing for print and web

It should show how powerful and diverse FLOSS can be, even for designers who are mostly used to proprietary software.
  * **Desktop:** \\ Xfce (lightweight, fast, intuitive for new users)
  * **Distribution:** \\ Fedora (very strict on licensing issues, kickstart files for customizing)
  * **Software** \\ Set of typical FLOSS design software, some candy added. Also Firefox, Thunderbird and some really needed basic applications will be included.
  * **Size:** \\ Target is 700MB, but can (and will) be exceeded as optical storage is merely superseded by flash storage
  * **Design resources:** \\ Lots of fonts, OpenClipart package, pre-configured browser bookmarks and some documentation stuff. All optional.
  * **Artwork:** \\ Custom wallpaper, theme and icon set. Low priority: Custom theme for GRUB and Plymouth (Bootloader and graphical boot process).
