Masonux: LXDE-based Ubuntu spinoff that sticks to its roots

I don't understand the need for editing of nm-applet. It worked fine when I added it to Icebuntu

Here's a mirror for it:

thanks for the feedback and encouragement! i wasn't really sure how this would be received by the community -- especially since i wasn't hosting source code (which i have never even seen...). i wasn't sure if my method/justification would pass public scrutiny.

is it live or just a installer?

Just like Ubuntu, its a LiveCD with an install button on the desktop.

I'm a fan of CrunchBang for low-spec computers

that is actually how this started. i didn't like how #!'s menu items did not update, and i did not like all the extra stuff included in #! by default. i added lxpanel and started stripping things away, tweaking here and there.... i stopped and just started from scratch with the mini.iso.

cat /etc/xdg/autostart/nm-applet.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Network Manager
Comment=Control your network connections
Icon=nm-device-wireless
Exec=nm-applet --sm-disable
Terminal=false
Type=Application
#OnlyShowIn=GNOME;XFCE;

X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Product=NetworkManager
X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Component=general
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=nm-applet

by default, that line is not commented out. maybe iceWM does it when it installs from the repos? lxde does not.

thanks a ton, CJ Master!! ill update the website right now, since apparently TPB is having issues...

i think there is some Swedish drama affecting the tracker i picked somewhat at random, at this very moment: http://torrentfreak.com/the-pirate-b...rities-090824/

ill get on that right now -- unfortunately, that means those of you kind enough to help me seed will need to take a moment redirect your efforts :\

edit: new .torrent: http://www.mininova.org/tor/2882335

also, updated the website to link to CJ Master's mirror.

No problem, it appears the mirror came just in time before they tackled TPB.

I created a dropbox account just for it, I could you give you username/password for it if you'd like.

sounds good, i'll probably give it a go later, i'm short on usb keys right now, i haven't put a cd drive in my nettop yet.

I'm talking about this distro specifically....not LXDE in general.

you aren't spending money out of your pocket just for this are you?!?!??

from my site:

It does not contain any custom artwork, logos, or any other modifications to any of those packages beyond those made by Ubuntu

the screenshots he linked are accurate. but i see your point, perhaps i should add more screenshots.
