Hi Everyone,

As a Crunchbang user, I was very sad that its support has end and am glad that it has resurrected as Bunsenlabs.
In an attempt to created a Openbox system, I have come up with a comfortable set-up for myself.
To document it for my own later reference and to help other out at the beginning of their own research, I am making a website name: UbuntuOpenbox.com (I chose a Ubuntu LTS for base system, but the Openbox part is pretty much all the same).

Currently I am updating it and only "Module3 - Openbox installation and configuration" is posted.

Please check it out and let me know you guy's opinions.

Cheers to you all and thank you!

Dat

* Thank you @damo! I did not know where to post this.
* Update:
I have something to say: I am not going to use the website for any purpose other than as a Ubuntu Openbox information site and personal blog, and it will be there for a long time. I have put a lot of effort into that website as it is my experiment with Wordpress (I throw to it everything I learned).

Good start. Continue it. I'd look in from time to time. I am already on Wily, https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic … 3990#p3990 and would be moving to Xenial in few days.

Looks like you've put a lot of work into this.

And it would be a good learning experience for me to go through the steps and learn along the way. Would it work to use Mint instead of the straight Ubuntu?

Yes, a lot of work and I have learned so much of Wordpress along the way.

Yes, Openbox just a Window Manager, it will work on any distro. But if your Mint already has a Desktop environment, you will need some further tweaks that exceed information available on my website (like which Application should manage desktop). It will be easy but still some nuisances expected.

In fact this is the first time I have tried it on Ubuntu. I often use Debian and all only using Openbox.

I think you should experiment it on a Virtual Box machine with a net install Debian or an Ubuntu server (I will write a post on the website). That way you will have a clean OS base just for experimenting Openbox and Debian branch distros.

Hey, it's a fine project you're into... I Openbox all my Linux machines as well, it's kinda addictive.
Keep up with the good work!

Wow. This is what I was looking for!

Good work! I'll be keeping an eye on this for sure.

Thank you for all of your comments. I really need those for the motivation. I have been pushed all of my thought & knowledge on the website (I think I finished with that phase). The next will be to polish all the contents.
