Hi,
I was unemployed when I started working on ScummLinux (and ScummEX btw), 
and when I found a job I became really too tired to work on these 
projects. :/
But lately I received a lot of requests about the status of ScummLinux, 
and I would like to work on it again.

IIRC all of the source code is on SourceForge.
Some goals would be :
- Updating it to a newer kernel
- Improving the .iso generator
	- Maybe a GUI ?
	- We could use the MD5s to detect the games
- Updating ScummVM to the latest version with all the dependencies
- ...

Of course volunteers are welcome to help :)
I'm going to start working on it right now, and I will post a news on my 
site later this week.
