OPENBOX: Sidbang (i486/i686/amd64) Release News
LinuxBBQ is happy to announce the follow-up to Darksight/Lightside. This is "Sidbang", a shameless rip off "Crunchbang Waldorf", featuring the newest kernels and optionally systemd. Sidbang comes in four flavours: i486, i686-non-PAE, i686-PAE and amd64. Additionally, there is a RoastYourOwn version for distromakers, coming as i486. Kernels from liquorix and siduction can be installed and upgraded with "get-kernel" and "smxi". Differences to Waldorf are:
- based on Debian sid
- kernels: 3.12-8 (except i486 that comes with 3.12-1)
- no GTK-3 applications, minimal dependencies
- no SLiM login manager (replaced by bbqlogin)
- systemd or sysvinit as init system
- BBQ tools for the terminal
- Network configuration happens via "sudo ceni" !!
- GIMP and GNU Office are installable via pipe-menu
- * xcalc and xdpf replace galculator and evince, mirage replaces viewnior
- preconfigured framebuffer session
- ISO size below 500MB
- RoastYourOwn version: "Crunchbang 9.04 Lite" applications, no GTK3 dependencies
- installable from inside the live session
The login and password are each 'bbq'. We recommend to use "sudo bbqinstaller" to install Sidbang. It is also possible to install via menu entry using the Live Installer if you need to create free partitions first.
After booting into the newly installed system, login as user "root" with the password you provided in the installer. After this, create new users with "adduser <username>". Type exit, and you are good to go.
This release is dedicated to vicshrike who has been following the grill from Day 1 and who is a Crunchbang fanboi :)

Ooooh gee thanks boss. Very kind of you, downloaded it and will try it out tomorrow. Have to get some sleep first, if that is possible with the distro boner you have given me :))

686PAE and amd64 on the way up, as well as a slight refresh of the non-PAE version. Will make a 486-lite version (like in the old days) later on.

i like how you kept the slightly crappy designchoices of the original Waldorf. it feels so authentic now! ;)

Re: OPENBOX: Sidbang (i686) Release News
Fanboi or not, I just love it. My old laptop loves it. And a 64 version on the way!!! This is not the first time you have been reading my lugubre mind. Wow man, the timing for me and my computers who is indeed in need of some refreshing installs is absolutely fantastic. Espescially since I am having a recurring attack of bloatuenza of a very sinister kind. :D So once again, thank you very much:)
