Re: Distros of interest
To be fair, that's how a lot of well known distros got started.

^ A nice one. It's slackware-based and FvwM, so I believe there are far worser choices than that :) I love a minimal destop but it makes me smile that some guys can do amazing things with 'just' a Window Manager.
Re: Distros of interest
Yeah it is pretty nice. Seems to use more ram intensive than it use to be on my Dell D620. Good thing is that there are different themes some use more ram than others.
It's iso size has increased to about 300meg but hey you get libreoffice with it so can't complain.:)

Re: Distros of interest
New Manjaro. I dl'd the i3 version, but saw they had the Budgie in their repos. I had never mucked with it, so wanted to check it out. It feels kind of like a retro Gnome. I just jump back and forth playing with them. The i3 looks much cooler, tbh, but I am on this atm, lols.

Budgie, for me at least, looks like an attempt to bring Mate or Xfce to do things on top of Gnome 3. Sorry Ikey.

Re: Distros of interest
^^ ^^^ You are correct! In fact the update pulled in a crapload of Mate, lols. I got bored quickly, and went back to the i3. Still running Space Oddity as my main, though :)

Re: Distros of interest
Without googling: is it possible to install Porteus? I remember it never had an 'official' method of doing so, except (probably) unsquashing and tinkering with GRUB.

Yes Porteous has an installer for usb and hd these days as opposed to its parent distro Slax.

Re: Distros of interest
It does look like anticap is uploading antix 16 now...
Links here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/antix- ... /antiX-16/
Give it some time to finish uploading... (the 32 bit core seems to work)

Re: Distros of interest
I want to add one more to the list, Dragora http://dragora.org/repo.fsl/doc/trunk/www/overview.md
It's a GNU/Linux-Libre distribution started from scratch and focuses on one application per task.(KISS, YAGNI, DRY principles).
People say it's similar to Slackware and archlinux.
