LinuxBBQ

An unbloated TTY-only base release with the 4.0 kernel from Debian. Install using bbqinstall or bbqinstaller, after reboot run bbqsetup to get started.

The framebuffer is set up (run 'fb' to test).

Oooh, the new 64-bit base. Downloading it right about now, thank you.

^ Happy roasting! I didn't include vim for you, sorry :D

^ Argh! You evil, evil! ;)

Disgraceful - not another anti-vim release! :P

I like the crazy release name:

Looks delicious, baconmeister! Downloading at the moment; I've been looking forward to another 64-bit no-X release :D

Excellent!

Ok, I didn't forget about this. It is ready on my trusty USB key. Doing a /home backup and then it's roasting time.

^ Let me know how it goes. A few things changed in the installer (well, not much, there's just some upstream borkage which I had to fix not-so-gracefully).

^ Installed without a problem. Now happily roasting (have to get this lappy ready for Monday!)

Getting me some now.

Works really good. Thank you, Jules, for this great base.

^ Looks very good, even though I'd like to run a 'purge libgtk-*' over it :D

This really help me. A lot, like a lot a lot.

I had been looking to switch from debian to crux or gentoo or something else.
Debian had been plagued by issues that made it hard for me to use.

I was spamming the random button on distrowatch just looking for something to switch to and I found this.
Linuxbbq I actually laughed. So many of the distros try to have serious and commercial sounding names.
While this was quite the oposite.
Things only went up from there:
The website was original and well designed. Something that I noticed carried over into the installer.
bbqinstaller was a pleasure to use. It was intuitive, simple and attractive.
So far the same can be said for this new system.

I just wanted to say thanks for all the hard work that went into making this switch so easy and fun for me.
I really apreciate it and am looking forward to the future. Both for using this system and your releases.

Welcome houseoftea. Nice post. Take a moment to give us a formal intro, and hook us up with a scrot of your system. I see you also just joined nixers; bbq is my home; nixers is the only other forum I'm on.

good shit Teahouse, nice to hear. like Drew said, please make an intro-thread in /dev/null so we can properly welcome you to the grill :)

I've just put this on an SSD equipped laptop. Updated very smoothly. 36mb at idle with DWM and a 3ish second systemd-analyze (yes added systemd)

Very nice. Thank you.

^ Thanks for the feedback :) Happy roasting, you're doing great!
