The Perfect Fluxbox Distro
1 min read
I was just thinking about all the things I usually install after I install Fluxbox. I decided to start a list. I might make my own distro sometime. I did it once but it wasn't great. It seems most of the distros that are Fluxbox only, or that include Fluxbox, are very minimal and I am always dissatisfied with the functionality. I not necessarily looking for the lightest weight distro. I use Fluxbox because I like it not because it's so light (although that is a very nice feature). So here's the list (I'll add to it as I go):
I just realized that it is pretty much Crunchbang with Fluxbox installed.

1. Install from Gslapt the following:
audacious
scons 2.0.1-i486-1gv
imlib2 1.4.4-i4861tm (may already be installed)
lua 5.1.4-i486-5gv
2. Now go into Preferences (still in Gslapt) and add the following to the Excludes:
^conky.* (this will keep the Conky you install from Sourcery from upgrading or downgrading)
3. Install the following from Sourcery:
tolua++ 1.0.93-i486-1SBo
Conky 1.9.0-i486-1SBo

Stand Alone Composite Manager
1 min read
This link has some great information on how to add a stand alone composite manager (as you may have guessed from the title). I used it to install Cairo-compmgr on Fluxbox. Compton also looks interesting. I think Crunchbang uses Compton.
