==== Description: ====
Crossfade GNU/Linux 0.90 is a cross-platform digital DJ system for USB flash
and portable hard drives. Crossfade GNU/Linux allows you to use a USB drive
with your music collection to DJ on any modern PC (with an x86 or x86_64 CPU),
including Apple Macs, using the DJ program Mixxx customized however you like.
USB drives with Crossfade GNU/Linux installed on them show up in Windows, Mac
OS X, and GNU/Linux as normal USB drives that music or any other data can be
copied onto. Unlike ordinary USB drives, they can also be used to boot
Crossfade GNU/Linux. After rebooting, the PC will be back to how it was
before.

Crossfade GNU/Linux is setup with a realtime Linux kernel for optimal
performance. It includes the Xfce graphical desktop environment, Midori web
browser, and Clementine music player. It has a number of other programs for
live musical performance including the Hydrogen drum machine, SooperLooper and
Giada loopers, Guitarix electric guitar amplifier, Rakarrak guitar effects
board, Ardour digital audio workstation, Audacity wave editor, and many LV2
and LADSPA audio effects plugins. Additionally, Crossfade GNU/Linux includes
utilities that make it useful as a computer rescue system, such as the GParted
partition manager, GNU GRUB bootloader, TestDisk data recovery program,
FSArchiver filesystem backup program, and MATE Disk Usage Analyzer. Crossfade
GNU/Linux is a Fedora Remix containing software from sources other than
Fedora, namely RPMFusion and PlanetCCRMA, as well as scripts and configuration
specific to Crossfade GNU/Linux.


==== Other Software Required: ====
In a sense, there are no dependencies. Crossfade GNU/Linux is a complete OS
that can rebuild itself when running on a PC with an Internet connection and
several GB of free space available.

To install to a USB drive, only a basic GNU/Linux system with Linux, Bash,
util-linux, gdisk, e2fsprogs, dosfstools, hfsplus-tools and rsync is needed
(all GPL except hfsplus-tools which is APSL2)




==== Other Comments: ====
The link below is to a torrent with the ISO image and installer script, not a
tarball.

I would understand if Savannah does not want to host 860 MiB ISO image files
for direct download. I could keep distributing them via LinuxTracker.org (or
better yet, does Savannah have a BitTorrent tracker?)
