The main features for this edition are:

- Just 128MB RAM required, might be usable in 64MB with minor changes.
- Includes Epiphany, Sylpheed, Abiword, Gnumeric, Pidgin, Totem,
Exaile,
If I'm not wrong, OO.o is the single largest application in our distribution
(well, it's actually comprised of a few different stand-alone applications,
but each one is quite large in itself).
Last time I checked, Lubuntu was close to an official release.
Trisquel Mini will follow Lubuntu
Hello!
The problem with LXDE is GDM... IMHO, GDM is not so Mini.
But I understand the choice to maintain packages easily...
By the way, OpenBox is certainly easy to maintain too... Isn't it?
PS: excuse my bad english
LXDE has recently gotten its own login/display manager, LXDM (see
http://blog.lxde.org/?p=531). But apparently we're going to use GDM
anyway...hmm. I'll ask quidam about that decision in IRC.
IMHO, LXDE has enough useful, well-integrated packages to be a better option
than OpenBox + a
I downloaded the Debian 5.0.4 LXDE Live CD to check out LXDE. I figured of
all the distros with LXDE versions Debian would have the least non-free
software. Running on a Pentium 4 with 256MB it was much faster than live
versions of Gnome. My Trisquel machine is an AMD Sempron 3300+ with
PartedMagic had LXDE and was lightning-fast when I tried it, but that
distribution so disrespected freedom as to include Google Chrome (not even
Chromium) for a while.
Of course, using OpenOffice.org, an example of kitchen sink software, so sort
of defeats the purpose of lightweight.
So what are you trying to say Andrew, that OpenOffice.org is large? Kind of
like the Atlantic Ocean is deep. Besides OpenOffice, they included Gimp, Ice
Weasel, PCFileMan plus several small utilities; no audio or video players and
no games. The LXDE website references the Debian version,
I've installed LXDE with Synaptic tonight.
In the list of installed packages, I see 'openbox', 'openbox-themes' and
'obconf'... (in lxde-core too)
Add 'obmenu' and you'll obtain the complete list of packages of Openbox!
I think that you need openbox and openbox-themes to get windows
As we will probably move to Exaile for Trisquel 4, I think we can
include it and test it in the meantime.
I installed Exaile and will use it rather than Rhythmbox to see how well it
does with Trisquel 3.5. How does it compare/differ with Rhythmbox? My
understanding is that it's a GTK+
LXDE seems to be very light indeed
LXDE it is. Also, I've updated the suggestions list at the wiki:

I've added some simple pointers or rules, and I've marked in bold the
packages to be included, based on that rules. This selections are not

earlier today on the irc, i was encouraged to start a forum topic discussing
possible suggestions for the mini version of trisquel.
I remember in red hat you could choose server, desktop or some other
