Thanks, I've downloaded this now. I agree that the Lilidog project deserves to survive and, if you're in touch with Sleek, please thank him for keeping the project alive..

Thank you!   Lilidog is still hosted on https://sourceforge.net/projects/lilidog/ and development will continue moving forward.  Super excited to seeing what can be done further with Trixie!

He's alive!

Hope you are well, Sleek. Your little distro's still got a spot in my heart as well as on a spare disk

Perhaps will try out Lilidog updated to Trixie as well.

Re: Distro-hoppers anonymous

^ The community (user) editions are encouraged and placed in the opening page of the distro, rather than seeing as competitors.
Even Ubuntu forums seems to encourage that, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2287591 That's how I found Bento, a woman made Openbox distro. http://phillw.net/isos/bento-ubuntu-remix/

Melodie (nice to see women doing this) has recently released an updated version of Bento, based on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, and I've just installed it. It looks good, has an extensive range of software and works very well; I particularly liked the fact that each of the four desktops are named after a different planet. The only thing it doesn't have is an e-mail client.

There are also versions of Bento based on AntiX and MX;
