    Lightbulb Kickstarting an openbox project

    So, what would it take for an openbox-desktop metapackage to be created?

    I'm not really sure... I'll be looking into that after I mow the lawn tomorrow.

    Hmm.. at first glance, it appears that the first step is to put together the exact system we want. Once I have a machine dedicated to this, I can do a clean install from a minimal CD and add exactly what we want. The hard part with this is that several packages we'd need are not included in the repos, so we'd have to build and maintain the packages as well.

    There's likely going to need to be some PPA action then?

    At first, but the packages will have to make it into the repos eventually.

    Are there any hardware needs on your end, canthus13, that would need to be met before building could take place?
