Introduction

This blog will relate to a personal project of mine, Dexios Linux, and its progress. It will also involve general things about Linux, but mostly on how to customize Linux or a distribution. Dexios Linux will be a Christian oriented distribution geared towards developers and designers based on Ubuntu. (Don't worry, non-Christians are invited too. :P) Developers and designers include, but is not limited to, programmers, web designers, graphic designers, video editors, etc.

Originally this project was called "Trubuntu," but that is taken and made public by Trinity Community Arts first, so i chose Dexios Linux. Dexios is Greek for "right hand." In the Bible the right hand was the righteous hand, known for its deeds. "Dexios" sounds cool and fits perfectly for this distribution. Even if it were in English it still sounds nice—"Right Hand Linux." Good deeds is what is intended from this distro, deeds that will help spread Christianity. It doesn't have to be for developing and designing alone. It's perfectly fine for just a Christian environment, as it contains useful Bible study tools. Churches can hand out Dexios Linux freely to people, and i recommend that they do so.

This distribution won't use GNOME as the default desktop environment even though it's based on Ubuntu; it'll use LXDE instead. This will help save space so that i can include all the relevant programs. Some of these programs will be some Bible tools that i have developed, and probably others. I'll will also try to include programs that are perfect for churches, like a lyric display system, so that it's not limited to the home user. I hope to make this a very popular distro.
