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 DE, 2) an installed X system with desktop can be distributed as 300MB ISO without “bloat”, 3) an installed desktop can be smaller than 1GB in disk space, 4) XFCE4 native compositing is flawless and looks stunning without weighing anything in RAM (I repeat: no difference!), 5) the BBQ will never die. We’ve taken the bait, so hide your kids and your wives.

Can’t wait to try !!!
May I suggest E17 for the next dishes ?
Thanks paolo. e17 is planned already, I just wait for the e17-team to get some feedback from their users and then remix a BBQ version, most probably by February.
Better and better.
Really hot.
Thanks Irene, it’s just hot because of the wallpaper
Is there an easy way to add network support in this release? I’m assuming it was left out to adhere to a smaller ISO size and better performance.
It’s there. Open a terminal, resize it slightly, then enter “ceni” and set it up with that tool. Should work OOTB on most boxes. If not, please take a moment to register at our forums and we can look into the hardware
Good tip and worked like a charm!
Thank you sir. I will indeed get registered on the forum.
Alright…awaiting approval for registration on the forums. I run the installer, follow all the prompts, format my drive and install grub…it won’t boot. Just boots to grub rescue no matter what I do. Balls.
I have approved it, welcome to the BBQ!
To fix grub, try this please: http://linuxbbq.org/bbs/viewtopic.php?p=1151#p1151
No worry, nothing is lost.
Looks like what I have been looking for.
You are not making it easy for those of us who want to go vegetarian…
Downloading the ISO as we speak. I’m very excited – Xfce is a beautiful thing.
Hi R3nci,
I wrote you a PM on the dark side about the error you get – tl;dr: check the md5sum and burn <4x
Greetings and welcome to da grill!
