Now that we know that the Democrat will (most probably) run with an Xsession, please choose one architecture, an init system, and one login/display manager.

Posted: **Sun May 19, 2013 3:53 am**

64, systemd, xinitrc

Posted: **Sun May 19, 2013 9:39 am**

i686 (also if is possible i486 for recuperate old pc),systemd,slim (more configurable then lightdm)

^paolo, I am also a follower of i686 and usually most (!) commonly used desktop and laptop PC should work well with the 686 version. 486 was/is in the experimental Debian repos, but I think I won't be able to reproduce a custom kernel.

About SLiM, well, there's always somebody who wants his Extrawurst :D (German: a specially roasted sausage)

i686 (because skype is slighty less 5h1t, and i only have 2 64bit systems)
systemd (gnome3 no-no 8p )
xinitrc (lockdown on sessions) unless forum helped.

BTW i got amiwm working, then i hosed my entire system 8D

wux, in a few days I got a lil' surprise for you ;)

Posted: **Sun May 19, 2013 11:02 pm**

you devil, you.... the system hosedown has made me reconfigure with many more partitions... for future hoseing - i mean testing 8)

Talking of udevil:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install libudev-dev 
wget -c http://linuxbbq.org/incoming/udevil.deb
wget -c http://linuxbbq.org/incoming/spacefm.deb
sudo dpkg -i udevil.deb 
sudo dpkg -i spacefm.deb 
rm udevil.deb 
rm spacefm.deb 
sudo gtk-update-icon-cache -q -t -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor
sudo gtk-update-icon-cache -q -t -f /usr/share/icons/Faenza 
spacefm &

Have fun.

Side note: the Democrat will be for both architectures (because I have a big ... heart) :)

Posted: **Mon May 20, 2013 8:50 am**

Systemd ftw. Slim is for gamblers (will it let me in or not, ladies and gentlemen, place your bets)

Posted: **Mon May 20, 2013 1:20 pm**

^ will it eat my music or not ;)

thanks Julius !
I think about i486 because of my volunteer activity in http://www.pcofficina.org in wich we recuperate old machine for schools, no profit organization and poor people using linux.
Actually I use Antix (and like it) or pure Debian stable or some light distro for help and teach people using linux and recuperate old machine

Edit: I make some mistake... excuseme Julius :-( I was typing fast

Paolo,

this is good enough for me to create a custom spin for your project. Let me know what system you guys want, and I spin something for you :)

Send a PM if you like!

Posted: **Wed May 22, 2013 3:11 pm**

i686
systemd

wait for it...

GDM :P

Posted: **Wed May 22, 2013 3:30 pm**

Mikey, you mean the good-old gdm or the bad-new gdm3? :D

Posted: **Wed May 22, 2013 6:32 pm**

The bad new one is sexiest, but I'm sure no one else thinks so :)

Posted: **Thu May 23, 2013 8:58 am**

I'm very bored ...: amd64 + systemd + lightdm (or xinitrc)

Posted: **Thu May 23, 2013 9:56 am**

@Mikey: well, i have to say that i agree with you on GDM being nice. it is that damned 'G' in there that bugs me, and my mind translates it to 'bloat'. but since everything is bloat, who cares? :D
