LinuxBBQ

Thanks, again! I'm copying this to a text file so I can have it next to the terminal ( I don't want to get lost in the back and forth). I am going to learn this stuff! The xml file wouldn't have been so bad, but I couldn't figure out right way to insert the text properly in the lines. my stuff ended...

Yeah :( I am running stuff in the background, but I need to upgrade the RAM on this box. I have 2gb, but it will take 4gb. As soon as I come across the extra $$ that will be my first purchase! Systemd was installed as a dependency :( Funny thing is, I was running Brasero, Iceweasel, Deadbeef, Conky,...

Thanks, Machinebacon! I was going to try out the IRC today, but I ended up making this mess! I will get right on it! I kinda miss the Crystal wm, though. I might try to install it alongside this. If I did that, I could maybe get the bbq menu, or at least some of the apps that Mate tossed. But I have...

Added conky

Ok, this is a really stupid-apologies-in-advance query. I took the break in Break! seriousy. After a little playing around with the Openbox setup, I installed a few of my favorites- pysol,etc....and got tired of dragging up a terminal to invoke them. They never showed up in the menu (of course!). I...

2016-01-29-094203_1920x1200_scrot.png Sorry, Wux! I creamed my Cream install with an attempt at a controlled upgrade. I wasn't paying enough attention- will teach me never to try something like that with a severe lack of sleep, lols! So I decided to download Break! and do my best to do just that, l...

Welcome, Boruch! Enjoy the buffett, and have fun grilling!

Gotcha! I think I'll dig through the icons and see what I can find! A purple panel? Could go with that...Maybe a blend of purple /yellow. Louisiana State University colors ;)
I'll work on it and scrot it when I'm done! I would rather tinker with this than that Razor Qt mess- a LOT of work there....

Lols! It beats the heck outta the solid hot pink just begging the old eyes to "lookie up here!"
I know, I'm a panel junkie, lols!
I might try my hand at making an icon for Atanks, but I foresee a fail in that venture!

That's on wm? I haven't tried that yet! It's so warm and clean! Great work!

2016-01-25-004034_1920x1200_scrot.png This is an updated xfce4 on top of xfwm. I lightened the panels to keep the distraction down (25%- 75% when the mouse hovers over it). I need BIG fonts for my usually dark environment (sleeper of my truck), so ya get the sizing and the bold oblique for that Dej...

Welcome, Sarge! Have fun! There are lots of great spins out there on the grill, so pig out! This is a great place to learn about anything Linux! And don't forget to check out their wiki. The wiki is very educational. It is also entertaining!And these guys are great! I was a forum lurker, also. I bet...

@ivanovnegro and @machinebacon- Much Thanks! Again, great xfce4! I did mine over xfwm- going to try it over Openbox now!

Happy Birthday! I hope it was a great one!

I just read the entire thread! You are where I would like to be in a year! That was a beautiful journey, dude! And BSD! I got Open BSD to work exactly ONE time on this old Dell! Now I'm gonna clear a partition and dive into this! I have never done a Slackware install, though (kinda scary). That was ...

Thanks, y'all! The hardest time I ever had installing pysolfc was with puppy linux. I had fits! Quirky was a really great setup- he had some neat little home made apps! I think That's one of the things that first impressed me with bbq- the whole bbq menu :) Any ways, I am working on mastering a much...

This is XFCE4 over Xfwm4. I just let the xfce4 desktop do its thing, added a wallpaper, and voila!

2016-01-19-233706_1920x1200_scrot.png FVWM- Crystal Ok, so feast your eyes on some bloat, lols. But I had to have a few things to comfort me when one of the other wm's get me close to the "have hammer, will fix" option. So here is my Pysol (I never install without it), my Deadbeef basic, ...

The Openbox is awesome! I use deadbeef everywhere, but I never installed it :( I couldn't figure out what to put where, so I have copies of deadbeef everywhere- except in the menus X)) I just go to my deadbeef folder and click, lols. Sorry, off-topic but I love the way you're deadbeef looks! Lovin' ...

@ivanovnegro It was! I heard from a friend that it was a series of movies, but I think he was just blowing smoke, and I don't think that I could watch another one, anyway. That one was the perfect mix of stupid and insane that can only be a fluke. A second one would just come out overkill or just pl...
