by admin on January 31, 2013, 2 comments

by admin on January 16, 2013, 14 comments

I’m ashamed to announce the immediate availability of “370455V 07734″, a BBQ flavour featuring the Cinnamon Desktop Environment. It’s meant to be a sandbox/playground – Cinnamon has just hit Sid, but this spin is stable and surprisingly resource-friendly. The list of default applications is slightly different: Cinnamon 1.6.x muffin WM Iceweasel (FlashPlayer and Adblock enabled) [...]

LinuxBBQ XFCE4 “Proof” (i686)

by admin on January 5, 2013, 22 comments

Let’s imagine a world in which XFCE4 uses less RAM than Openbox. Let’s distill XFCE4 as what it is meant to be: low in resource usage, forgiving in disk space, and only spiced up with a handful of decorations and themes. This remix is called “Proof”, and it proves that 1) XFCE4.10 is a great [...]
