2WM: Bleuets (486) Release News

Unread post by ChefIronBelly » Fri Mar 28, 2014 1:01 am

FROM: The Testing Branch

ChefIronBelly is pleased to announce the immediate availability of LinuxBBQ "Bleuets", based on the BBQ Spring 2014 edition featuring the 2WM tiling window manager from suckless.org. This is version 2wm-0.2, a 32-bit edition based on Debian sid with the 3.12-1 experimental 486 kernel, fully compatible to Debian.

Aimed at intermediate users, "Bleuets" 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

Be sure to check the man page the only thing I changed would have been
- Alt-F3: Opens dmenu

The keybinds are compiled. This spin does not use xbindkeys. I didn't include source but if anyone wants it just ask.

Very nice. Seems similar to catwm, but with floating window/dialog ability. I'll have to give this a spin this weekend.

Thanks for doing that, sometimes in my need for minimalism I forget to check.
