Why Dibab ?
LinuxConsole 1.0 works quite fine, bus was designed in 2004 (then released in 2007,2008,2009,2010).
Dibab has been written to build LinuxConsole 2.0. Full documentation should be written here before first announcement.
Lacks of LinuxConsole 1.0:
- Build modules updates is not enough simple.
- Too much modules
- Not enough communication
- Only One developer
- Linux Games are not popular like Windows ones
- Low Community
Good things :
- One release every year
- Easy install from windows
- Home made configuration tool
