LinuxBBQ

"Space Oddity" is a BBQ-flavored Debian Jessie with Openbox and tint2 on top.

What's cool?
- free of gtk3, systemd, pulseaudio, policykit and other monstrosity.
- The bbs tool connects you to over 300 BBS Servers worldwide using telnet.
- Less fat, more flavor: season to your liking using configuration files like in the golden Linux days
- Customizable until your <insert body part of choice> bleeds.
- Low RAM usage is guaranteed.
- Make your own spin using "bbqsnapshot".
- Small installation size.
- dkeg included.

After installation and reboot, login as root with password root and run 'setup-bbq'

- to enable decorations, check the last part of openbox/rc.xml

404 - We're sorry but we weren't able to process this request.

That seems to be fucked up release notes from sourceforge :P

Works now :)

Do you ever sleep? Thanks! Downloading... Oops nope. Will have to wait too.

BTW, great name. Good homage.

Thanks!

- dkeg included

always wanted one of those for myself! get to work bitch, rice the fuck out of my setup so i can post it online and people be like "you are dkeg's long lost son" but it's actually Drew, in my basement... wait i live in HK, i don't have a fucking basement.

anyway, real nice Jules!

Wow! Thanks! me very :). Looks like a cozy wet dream. One weird thing that happened though is that after failing to dd it to usb, I am now testing it live from a dvd-rw! That does not happen very often anymore. Tried two different usb sticks that normally never fails me, and two different downloads without success. Will download and try to dd once more from another computer with BREAK! on it. Cheers! :)

^ interesting info -- please keep me updated!

Okay I am uploading the ISO again, SF misbehaved a bit yesterday night. Should be up in less than an hour.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

I miss my morning runs.

Lately, having a desire to give openbox a try. Maybe this weekend; in between building snowmen.

No need to be sorry machinebacon. Will retry tomorrow :)

Is the md5 f164c1307d5361dce35a16e4f1395384 now or is this the old one?

Never mind. I got off my lazy ass and checked at SF.

Haha and Openbox getting some love lately.

Managed to get the former iso yesterday. Tested good both live and installed in virtualbox. I guess it's pointless now. Going for the new upload.

Mmmmm In the words of Bowie "I'm happy hope your happy too". From Ashes to Ashes.

Thanks will try this one Julius:)

All good now, posting from live usb. Testinstall into vbx ok. Love the feel of crude aesthetic austerity it gives me. It reminds me of the very nice "cookies" release from way back. Will do real install tomorrow if all goes as I plan. Usually it never does though. Suspect this will be a maraton install, i.e, I will not fuq it up with the first upg! ;)

Installed today to an external ssd disk, connected via usb. All things seems to work as they should. It booted as it is supposed to do on four different machines. The intention is to have it as a to go system that I will be able to use on whichever computer I fancy that day. Will try to keep it as lean and mean as the default look is. Ehrmmm...*cough*cough* with a couple of exceptions he mumbled as he slowly limped back under the floorboards with the tail between his legs. :D

^ It's okay, nobody needs to feel sorry or ashamed for adding a favourite browser and file manager on top :D The whole *bloat* talk is more or less tongue in cheek - and maybe you remember in the golden days of #! there was a Suggestion Box, where people wanted to replace Thunar with SpaceFM, or Chromium with Iceweasel, or drop GIMP, or add Inkscape, and so on... Now, to keep these bitches off the BBQ forums, I have simply decided to give them CLI tools (maybe you remember Ubuntu-based #! had a lite version) and everyone can add his own favourite bloat on top, and I don't need to care about default top level applications anymore.

Thanks for reporting back - four different machines, hohohoooo :)

Yes sure I rmember the golden days of #! and the lite version, but I do not miss it! Have come to really appreciate the BBQ CLI setup to pump up to my personal liking, so no regrets. Well I suck at cli but I am slowly adapting myself to it, and cheat with the help of easy peasy GUIs to keep the insanity in place. ;) Ohoh, sorry now I am going off topic. Will come back here if there should be any anomalies of course. :)

This is now on my main box. :)

I'm a long-time CB user, since its Ubuntu days (the lite version, indeed) and through its subsequent incarnations, but a new SSD meant a reinstall anyway, so I thought I'd try something from the grill. (I've tried most of the Openbox-based BBQ spins but never on my desktop.)

The only issues I've got - and they're probably more to do with me, rather than the distro - are:
-no sound in Firefox/Youtube
-making keyboard layout changes (from US to GB) permanent. (It'll revert to US on the next boot.)

It's early days (1, to be exact) but, the above aside, it looks like Oddity will be staying.

Oh, and perhaps this isn't something I should be admitting on here, but I've no idea what dkeg is.


To Bacon, cheers. :)
