corenominal the leader of the fantastic crunchbang aka #! linux has just released another testing image based on the upcoming debian stable (wheezy). it comes in 32 and 64 flavor with PAE and non-PAE kernel to suit even older hardware. Downloading and seeding right now. If you wanna try (you should!...

@ `foo
wow, really love your scrots. especially the lack of clutter (you know, these ugly w3.11/w95 type icons) on your desk.
well done mate and special points for using some of this "notsopopularwindowmanagersoutthere"...

Well, even if i don't post here too often i am here every single day just to be up to date and of course for the great community. ...and i am part of the crunchbang community Therefor i sure know what that means: GREAT COMMUNITY

Thanks John Murga

Well, Archbang comes preconfigured with openbox as its windowmanager, tint2 as a panel and conky for systeminfo on the screen. Also with a few preinstalled apps for browsing, multimedia and so on... The archiso gives you a basic arch system with no graphical environment and on top of that you can in...

Yes, i have archbang installed as my main OS on sda1 (ext4). What i really like is that AB is still using grub1 for its bootloader. That makes it so easy to reach all my puppys on sda3 (sda2 is my swap).

just to bring this up to topic
i am using archbang for about 5 month now. update once maybe twice a week. still working good and looking good... (the few issues i have were sortet out quick by looking on this great archwiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Main_Page

To show folks what I am talking about, I dug my old hard drive and chose this one.(I got more) If someone makes something like this, that's innovated UI and thus gives new UX . We use just a few apps and visit just a few sites. Windows 8 like huge icon and contextive letter message for loaded sfses...

@Béèm
Oh i forget that. It is a standart Luci 5.20....

As been seen here all worked good for me.
Nice compositing, menu, and a few epplets running on the right side.... like it

@runtt21 Yes, all releases of your fine work make it to at least top10 and that is because they deserve it! I am still on mp5.25 and it is so fine with my own tweaking on my old lappy., couldnt think of anything better when it comes to E17. But hey, i trust you (as allways) and give the new 5.28E a ...

:D Hello, Umm... Hello people...Latest E-16...100+ themes available... Did anyone even test this pet yet??? I expected more interest than...none.... Oh, sorry for replying so late :oops: I am using your E16 Stuff over a Lupu 5.2 install and really like it. The only thing i am missing are the set of...

I've just downloaded and tried Archbang. It looks quite impressive and runs well in limited hardware except that so far I haven't been able to get sound working on it for Youtube videos etc. Yes, Archbang of course is a good choice for limited hardware but its a pain in the a** for a "notsoexp...

hd0,0 hat lowrider ja ganz gut erklärt (bis auf die Behauptung, Grub würde den Bootsektor mitzählen, des glaab' isch ned :lol: ). Rolf Jo, hast natürlich recht. Aber bei uns is grad Weinlese und son frischer Federweisser haut schon ordendlich rein. Da kann man auch mal was durcheinander bringen... ...

hi Atari du kannst deine frugal Installation auf jedem Laufwerk/Partition ablegen. Entscheidend ist die Installation von Puppys Bootloader Grub. Ich gehe mal davon aus das Grub im Bootsektor der ersten Festplatte sda (WICHTIG: nicht sda1, sda2....) installiert ist. In deinem Fall (sda6 -früher in de...

Thank you stu90.
I have a faible for "geekish" things like that. Another new toy to play with...

The new Puppy 5.28 with XFCE 4.6 and Compiz. Try it out puppyans. Its fun!!! :D Wow man, that is awesome! I tried getting Compiz going just awhile back, but I think integrated Intel graphics doesn't cut it. Glad to see someone's got it going though :) Did you install it from the Puppy package manag...

@topic I've done a really crazy "Distrohopping" in the past. Going from all sort of Debian Derivatives to slackware, any kind of what uses E17, any Arch Distro i can get and forth and back... What i like most at the time are these minimalistic (in use of Ram) Distros like Archbang, Rexbang...

Yes, as Minimatter said i think xclock would do the trick. I'm not on a puppy right now so i don't know if there is a .pet around but even if not so xclock would give no hard dependency of libs or somewhat. I guess you should give it a try...
