Running Openbox on Fedora 18

About Openbox

Openbox is a window manager.  It is the default window manager of several distributions the most prominent of which is probably Crunchbang. It is also the most common window manager used with LXDE and RazorQT.

I’m looking again… for a Linux Distro that is.

I have 4 computers at present, 1 tablet running Android, 1 Mac Mini dual-booting OSX and Crunchbang Statler, 1 Thinkpad T42 running Archbang 2012-12, and 1 Inspiron 2200 running Crunchbang Statler.

Linux Desktops (2012 2nd Quarter Comparison)

Relatively little has changed in the Linux Desktop world since my last post in March.  As such this will be a relatively quick post.

I’d say the biggest news would be the targeting of Gnome 3 Fallback mode for primary use by a couple distributions.  Trisquel, one of the FSF’s approved distributions as well as Solus OS have decided to go this way, disregarding the Gnome team’s UI redesign, and instead opting to enable the “fallback mode” to be a more usable, less crippled environment.

My Linux User Interface Explained

One of the things I like about using Linux is the flexibility and level of control you have with the interface.  If you have the know-how, or the will to learn, then you can customize to your hearts content.  I still change mine around occasionally, but have more or less settled on a functional setup.

Linux Desktops (2012 1st Quarter Comparison)

A lot has changed since my last post about Linux desktops only a few months ago.  Mostly in response to the big uproar in the community over Gnome3 and Unity.
