The LinuxBBQ Team is happy to announce the immediate availability of "Summer 2014". This release replaces the previous "Spring 2014" edition. It comes with an X server, and hcwm as default window manager. As follows is the changelog:

- elinks/links2/w3m browsers
- reworked dkeger and fbcolors switch
- env-info displays the Xcolor
- tty starts with the selected fbcolor
- IPv6 disabled system-wide for quicker browsing
- unnecessary services disabled
- removal of all systemd leftovers in favour of a full sysV init
- experimental added to sources.list
- new wallpapers (thanks to kexolino and GekkoP), color schemes and tools (thanks to the LinuxBBQ team)
- fixed ranger dependency on package 'file'
- populated .config/ranger
- added kxt (thanks to DebianJoe)
- boot menu of live stick starts all entries "verbose"
- better hardware support by added firmware
- removed the CLI games and dependencies
- removed vifm, tapecalc, hexcurse
- upgraded existing base (snapshot of June 20, 2014)
- rebuilt live-config and live-boot
- added instructions for autologin in /etc/inittab

The ISO was corrupted on its upload due to a wacky internet connection. I will upload the ISOs again in the next hours.

Sorry for the inconvenience!
