is this a new pm he sent you? Really? He can't be serious.

Edit: enlightened by vic below. Thanks vic. I guess I had missed this mess back then.

oh ok, I thought it had to do with sidbang. Good to know it was over a much more serious matter.

why slim?

we use bbqlogin.
I actually kind of like it even a little better than slim. (I didn't think that was possible.) Nice work!

thanks Sir. It does basically the same thing: bring the user where he wants to go. And it also gives the choice of running an framebuffer or tmux session, which will hopefully satisfy the geeks at munch ;)

This looks really sweet for my laptop now that I built a new rig. Crunchbang brought me back to Debian and in a way to the bbq.

But seriously, related to the cruchbang forum link, who the fuck drinks decaf? Many of the processes involve letting the beans sit in the same solvents I use in my lab. Please, everyone, let's stick to getting our cancer from tobacco as God intended and just drink our coffee with our drugs remaining in it. Same goes for my liquor, I like my congeners, stop trying to distill them out! Now where's my bourbon.....

Added a RYO to the available versions. This one is made for distrolette-makers.

It comes with the Top Level Applications from Crunchbang 9.04 (pcmanfm for thunar, leafpad for geany, no XFCE4 dependencies, no GTK3 packages) and a 486 kernel to boot on older and low-resource PCs.

This means, there are five Sidbang spins available. Happy Roasting!

I'm having a problem after installing the AMD64 version. When it ask for login I enter the username and passwd, but login failed. Installed again thinking that I forgot the passwd, but had the same problem. Help!! Excuse my noobiness!!!

Great work machinebacon! This makes a fanboi like me :)) One small question though, this slight refresh of the non pae version, what does that consist of? Something to be bothered about?

Nothing serious, just fixed two menu entries in the CLI menu. BTW, if you are bothered by the error messages at boot (upstream bug in kernel) you can remove the "hal" package (which is only added because some websites with stream media require hal, even though it is old and out of date)

Thanks, first view of that error message made me a little bit shaky, but since everything worked like it should, I just thought no worry :D

@tuxic, same thing happened to me with the 686 version, to test it I used the bbqinstaller next time and installed with no changes to user, password, or hostname.
It worked without problem, just change that stuff later. By the way, the installer sort of froze on the last step, "installing bootloader", I just waited a couple of minutes and rebooted. Everything ok so far. :)

tuxic, did you use the live-installer (with the graphical user interface) or the bbinstaller? Anyway, you can try to log in as 'bbq'/'bbq' or 'root'/'bbq'

OK, sorry for the confusion

Please login as user "root" with the password you provided. Then create a user as wished with "adduser <username>" . I will add this to the release notes.

Sorry again ;)

@vic: thank you. This trick did the job

@machinebacon: really appreciated. Maybe some other "noobs" like me are having the same problem.

Installed 64 bit on my desktop, really shiny and nice. Sharing disk 50/50 with "Darkside". No problem so far.

I noticed the same deal as tuxix, had to log into recovery mode after install and make a new user (was not created during the install) but no biggie.

Any tips to get Suspend working right??
The option is grayed out...

A couple other minor things I noticed, super-x is broken (failed to execute "cb-exit") and there are no folder icons in the file manager.
