BBQ Democrat - Base System
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.

Re: BBQ Democrat - Base System
^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)

Re: BBQ Democrat - Base System

Re: BBQ Democrat - Base System
Side note: the Democrat will be for both architectures (because I have a big ... heart) :)

Re: BBQ Democrat - Base System
Systemd ftw. Slim is for gamblers (will it let me in or not, ladies and gentlemen, place your bets)
Avatars are bloat

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

Re: BBQ Democrat - Base System
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!

Re: BBQ Democrat - Base System
Mikey, you mean the good-old gdm or the bad-new gdm3? :D
..gnutella..
Re: BBQ Democrat - Base System
The bad new one is sexiest, but I'm sure no one else thinks so :)
Re: BBQ Democrat - Base System
I'm very bored ...: amd64 + systemd + lightdm (or xinitrc)
Re: BBQ Democrat - Base System
@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

Re: BBQ Democrat - Base System
True, let's make a dependency check:
Sweet Jesus.
Talking of bloat...
And one more...
Roast Your Own opinion. And no, please nobody come up with '.xinitrc' because of course having a DM is heavier on dependencies than running none :)
