Nelum, Siduction, Solus are all very tempting. Time to fire up VB again.

I gave it the name Nelum, which is the flower in the screeny.

Unfortunately, the Liquorix kernel headers are now built against GCC 5 and so are incompatible with jessie

I think antiX/MX-15 have managed to backport the headers.

BTW I'm surprised that you chose Latin-language flower names for your project too because it's the same naming system I've been using for all my computers since 2007: viola, lilium, camelia, hibiscus, … sometimes I even go by it.

Nelum has just 2 and 1/2 sounds, no accent on both vowels, easy to pronounce and remember. The name is not Latin-language, but from one of the oldest languages in the world. Nelum - නෙලූම්

So, I downloaded Solus OS and tried to install it, last night. The ISO won't boot (dracut errors). I contacted their support and they gave a tip; it booted farther but then failed with a different error. They said I should wait for version 1.1

@ostrolek as far as nelum os (ubuntu version) goes, the only downside in the visual is some black borders around some of the gnome apps like Calculator (gedit looks a little odd, but that's gedit) while running in virtual box on the mac. Not sure what will happen running live or installed.
Very cool distro, tho. Haven't seen many openbox/ubuntu distros.

That's compton playing havoc with Gnome apps. Good that you found it. Uninstalled Gnome calculator and installed Galculator.

Glad you liked the distro. Uploaded it for any one to use. Nelum is the only Ubuntu 16.04 based live installable Openbox distro available at the moment in the Net. Maybe the only Ubuntu 16.04 based live iso, other than Ubuntu official development distros.

Install Arch in 5 minutes flat:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 6#p1595686

And people complain that it's difficult...

BTW the fstab step is unnecessary O:)

Mod Note: *Do not* use the linked method as an installation guide, it produces a highly idiosyncratic system and may not work at all in all cases.

Managed to brick my laptop today

I was trying to be clever by dual-booting OpenBSD and GNU/Linux but it turns out that fdisk(1) isn't quite there yet in respect of GPT support -- it wrote some crazy jump instruction to the (fake) MBR of my new Samsung EVO 850 SSD and my firmware refused to POST with the drive connected.

I couldn't even boot from a USB stick or DVD

Eventually, I had to physically remove the drive and attach it to another laptop with more forgiving firmware so I could boot the Arch live ISO and fill the first few megs of the drive with zeroes.

What a palavar...

Slim is used as the login manager.

^ Thanks for sharing ostrolek

BTW, do you know that SLiM is a dead project and is not fully compatible with systemd, particularly in respect of logind sessions?

See the Warning at the top of the ArchWiki page:

From the hallowed pages of the Thinkpads.com forums, I bring you....

wait for it....

WindowMaker Live!

Check it out.

The dev is looking for feedback, so if anyone wants to slap it in a VM or something that would be cool. Just trying to help out a fellow THinkPadder. (Yes, we use that term.)

The Slim web page doesn't open, but the slim app works. You have to play with slim.conf to get it to do what you want. In a way, its good, if Slim is not going to be developed more. It is good as it is now. I personally prefer to login without any login manager, just startx, but not everyone likes it.

BTW, you have a uefi laptop, would you try Nelum-Bang on yours? Mine is a 5 year old i3.

I'm even running BunsenLabs in a VM

No problem.
I'll do that at the shop tomorrow or the day after.

Not so much of a "distro" per se...

But something that led to where we are today.

This makes me miss my old UltraSparc 10 that I used to own. I had dual 400MHz CPU's in that bad boy.

I've been toying with the idea of picking up another one or maybe an SGI Indy to tinker around with.

It should work fine on the metal if you have an NVIDIA card though

You had an UltraSPARC?
