My configuration is as follows for a dream Distro:
Code:
## Remember to use alsamixer then, after quitting it with desired settings, use alsactl store.
## In pcmanfm, make sure it's the desktop manager.
## .config/openbox/autostart.sh
## ## Add pcmanfm -d
## ## Add conky
## /etc/apt/sources.list
## ## Add deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org squeeze main non-free
## ## Add contrib to all the debian repos.
## After installing flash, replace it with 10.1, as it's much faster.

Some builds of pcmanfm won't take the desktop sadly (and there are no desktop options in said builds.) I get frustrated when that happens. Conky:

And autostart:

. $GLOBALAUTOSTART
# Programs that will run after Openbox has started
(sleep 2 && pcmanfm -d) &
(sleep 2 && conky -d) &
(sleep 2 && stalonetray --dockapp-mode --sticky true -t true --grow-gravity W) &
With this setup you WILL have to use CUPS webpage to add printers/scanners. It is located at localhost:631 (If you do not have an HP Printer, you will have to forego using hplip, and just install cups, etc.)
