LinuxBBQ

Thanks all.
^Nerdtree, correct, and turses, not ttyter.
Alignment, well, what can I say ... I set it up first thing and leave it till power down. I don't really move windows around.If I do any real work for say my website (not like that's been happening) , I'll have a full term on another group

^^ i didn't realize it. I've used it before though not as good looking as dkeg's
thanks for the tip bacon!

and clean the bloat

...because everybody likes solarized dark. Added an xclock for checking the X11 resources. Seems to blend.

(It shows 1000MB disk space in use, my aim is to strip off 20-30%. Locales eat up 180 all in all, documentation is around 75 -- we'd still be around 320MB in ISO size right now with decent xz compression, whatever... fit a USB stick if possible, right? Does anybody use 256MB sticks? Ha!)

Like it. Solarized is a very well done scheme. Of course there are pieces I don't like (not a purple fan). The solarized light is very nice too! I used it for awhile recently. Plus there are available solarized schemes for just about everything which is a plus.

^ That's what I thought, too. I am still using your blackish themes, skateboard, streetlamps, or most recently iron, but you know, 'go with the flow' :D

I'll try a mix of dark and bright solarized, they should fit quite well.

Cool, well, sometimes its nice to take a break, sit back, and ... Oh and cwm. check you out, a regular hipster!

Well look how that is shaping up, nice! Speck... the kids and I have been watching episodes of Pee Wee's Playhouse and the Pee Wee Herman movie lately, Speck is his dog, hahaha! Ohmybones, I love it. Trimmed down Slack with cwm, what more does anyone need?

I'll only add this: love the scrot name.

Niki Kovacs of Microlinux has been working on a lightweight configuration of Slack, too:

^ Brilliant thank you for those links Bones. I have actually gone back to Core Salix again, and I am loving it, reading Niki's stuff has given me shit loads more insight on Slackware. Btw his way of thinking, makes him sound like a real BBQ'er at heart. Will try the StripSlack at some point!

I am soooooo looking forward to this Jules +1

Cheers

Slack it! Nice Bacon.

Thanks Bones, the instructions are interesting, though it still requires a full ISO to start off with. I use a different method (build in a chroot) to avoid this. In fact, the bootstrapping only takes around half an hour (I have a quite slow internet and use my T43 for it). I'll post the script when it's ready.

Salix again, this time built up from a core install; cwm-openbsd, termsyn font. I have always said that I wanted a slackware minimal install, and Salix has given it to me.



You might say "pidsley, that looks like all your other installs!" -- yes; that is true, but this is how I decide if I can use a system -- can I build my usual working environment, and do it without extra crap? Yes I can, from a Salix core install. I will keep this on the test machine and see how it performs and how well it survives upates. But so far I like it.

^ Fantastic, Salix in action.

^^ well done, Pidsley.

I follow a similar pattern when I test something new on my machines.

Can I build my environment?

1) yes: all good
2) no: sorry, no time for love

Beautiful pidsley, looking forward to hearing how that continues to work for you. Did you forego all gtk madness?

Thanks to the Grill, especially dkeg, pidsley & drchroot that inspired me to venture into the world of CWM...playing/testing with Hotdog...next the BAR, would you be very kind to share your bar config dkeg? Thank you!





Cheers and have a wondeful week-end!

Whoa! Very nice, lrcaballero! Much nicer than I have ever gotten cwm in the past. Really digging it all, down to to the borders.

^ Thank you for your kind words Dr_Chroot...dkeger is fenomenal!
