LXDE: Coal amd64 Release News

[machinebacon]

LinuxBBQ is glad to announce the immediate availability of LinuxBBQ Coal, a release featuring the LXDE desktop environment, based on Debian's unstable and experimental branches. "Coal" is a snapshot of August 6, 2013 and the update of our previous LXDE Base called "Trollinger". The kernel in use is at version 3.10-4 and comes directly from siduction's repositories.
Notable changes to previous versions are lower dependency count due to absence of gtk-3 packages, the removal of LightDM as display manager, the addition of several CLI applications and BBQ Tools, and several improvements and bugfixes.
The main purpose of "Coal" is to provide a lean, but functional base system for those who want to build up their system by themselves and for those who want to create a redistributable remaster. For convenience, use the shopper or roastyourown tool to create your distro.

Info: this version still uses the old systemd (v44) due to problems in the build process. It is, however, possible to partially upgrade systemd to v204 using the Debian experimental repositories and the commang "ins -t experimental systemd"

MB... about 15 days ahead of schedule ;)
Grabbing it now.
I will "force" myself to make VMWare run dual head, even if I have to switch from OpenBox (in LXDE) to xfwm4.

EDIT: Ouch... even in a vm it's so fast it burns my fingers ;)
I need BBQ Tongs (sounds like yet another Roast ;))
