Unread post by ChefIronBelly » Fri Mar 21, 2014 12:45 am

ChefIronBelly is pleased to announce the immediate availability of LinuxBBQ "Tater Salad", featuring the Fluxbox window manager with disabled menu's and toolbars. This is version 1.3.5, a 32-bit edition based on Debian sid with the 3.12-1 experimental 486 kernel, fully compatible to Debian.

Aimed at intermediate users, "Tater Salad" is using the SysV service manager. Non-free firmware and driver packages ensure best possible hardware detection. With the bbqsnapshot tool users can create their own remasters.

GUI applications include:
- Netsurf 2.9

CLI applications are:
- tmux
- mc, ranger file managers
- w3m browser
- Ceni network manager
- moc media players
- newsbeuter RSS fetcher
- various other tools and utilities

Cheatsheet: (Be sure to check the man page for the rest.)
- Alt-F1: Opens a window
- Alt-F2: Opens fbrun
- Alt-F3: Opens dmenu
- Alt-F4: Closes a window
- Alt-F5: Kill the current window
- Alt-F6: Display OSD status (this is custom per system and may need to be modified.)

- Ctrl+Alt+Del: Exit Fluxbox (log out)
- Ctrl+F1-F12: Switch to the 1st-12th workspace.
All of these keybinds may be changed in ~/.fluxbox/keys. This spin does not use xbindkeys.

congratulations and welcome to the circle of grillmeisters ! and of course thank you for fluxbox, it was the first ever WM to be featured in linuxbbq, two years ago with 'pihtije/disznosajt'.
very happy to see the 486 kernel, btw. ;)

Very cool CIB. My religion (Obscurism) does not permit the use of fluxbox, but I'll break my vow and at least take it for a test drive.
+1 for i486.
