I prefer having a distro with the XFCE desktop & XDSL uses Fluxbox for its desktop. I am looking at sXb though because it is slackware based like Zenwalk so I might be able to build a slimmed down Zenwalk using parts of sXb. I currently have Xebian on my xbox which I installed the XFCE desktop o...

It was using gentoox on my xbox that got me into linux. I go to http://distrowatch.com/index.php every day to see what latest distro's have been released. My favorite after trying many is "Simply Mepis". Another interesting one is "dreamlinux". If your experimenting on an old PC ...

Slimned down version of gentoox

I would like to install gentoox on my xbox but cannot justify giving up so much hard drive space to something that I will only use to browse the web occasionally & check emails. I have Mepis linux installed on my main PC so you can see I don't need a full distro on the xbox. Is it possible to ha...

aditional media player

I have found the media player "totem" to be very useful as it can play all internet audio/video streams that windows media player does. I currently have to run it in xebian and wondered if its possible for it to be installed in a future version of Gentoox?

"Magic" is a automatic patch system. You simply open up a Konsole (terminal) window and type the command "magic".

It will launch the auto updater and ask you some questions regarding what you want to install.
