Just downloaded it and tried it, i love it! Really shows me what openbox can do in the right hands, its awesome

[penileimplant100]

Madbox uses ADeskbar. instead of the gnome panel It is quite customizable and does not need composting. It`s a menu bar and task bar all in one. Available as a deb. I think it`s in the Ubuntu repos too. Cheers.

Hey sneeky whats your opinion about open suse ??

im just asking cause i installed it on my virtualbox and its was awesome because it had guest additions preinstalled ! how amazing is that i think its the only distro that has that

[sneekylinux]

@JewBoy331 i do like suse,or want to sometimes,but it lets me down on a few things on low end pc's,as for working in the box,there are a lot of other distros that come with it also,...e.g pclinuxos

Sneeky when i was working on the TLOS project a few months back, the basic GNOME install was using around 85/90MB RAM idle, so not too bad! Great review, might try this one out

[sneekylinux]

@lindsaymobil22 basic gnome can be small mate,its only when you start fitting it's clothes it gets bigger

[JeremyPassarelli]

Looks great!

[UbuntuHelpGuy]

Excellent one, sneeky. Looks very good :)

[ElderSnake90]

This looks very well done.. looks like they are still using Gnome-panel up the top, more or less on it's own or something? I cant work out what it could be otherwise besides maybe a very tweaked lxpanel.

[KneeToTheDome]

@ElderSnake90 It's lxpanel. Looks smooth.

[lindsaymobil22]

@KneeToTheDome Its Adeskbar actually



[cobrafazea]

Amazing OS and awesome review as usual

[Tatsujin79]

ahh madbox i remember someone (apparently the creator) promoting this on the crunchbang forums some time ago

[MetalShreader]

cool.

[liverpoolatnight]

Hi neil. What the minimum ram this uses as i was planning on using it on a old system.

[Justgoodvids]

@liverpoolatnight whatever you have :D (Or at least 2Gbs...or less???) puppy linux?

[cobrafazea]

@liverpoolatnight he said 88 MB ... which is pretty much fast 

[sneekylinux]

@liverpoolatnight you could prob get away with an 800 duron and 256,but have not tried it with them specs,but as it is open box it should be alright

[sneekylinux]

@liverpoolatnight ok i have just re-checked ,you can get away with 160mb ram without doing a text based install,but as the new buntu kernel does not support the old cpu's(via,k6 etc)you will have to suck it and see

[liverpoolatnight]

@sneekylinux Thanks :-)

[SharkTheArdvark]

new to me thanks
