But then I thought, if I am going to go to all the trouble of starting with a Debian net install and creating a themed Linux desktop from scratch and then I might as well share the results with the world.So here I am announcing the first release from the project code-named THEME-IX, download link below:
DebianXbluebuntu 14-06 Beta3 <-- Download now!
It's my 'port' of Xubuntu 14.04 to Debian (Testing/Jessie). It is a fully functional LiveCD that can be installed thanks to the efforts of the guys at Refracta. I have set up a Sourceforge page which will handle hosting and contains extra info such as a full packages list and a support forum.
Here's some information you might need to get going:
Live username = user
Live user password = user
Live root password = root

It's my first public beta and I appears stable on my hardware, in fact it flies. It is almost an exact replica of Xubuntu with the exception of a slight nod towards a couple of lighter-weight applications. Here's the full list:
Base: Debian Testing (Jessie)
Desktop: XFCE 4.10
Theme: Xubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr (Greybird GTK + Elementary XFCE icon set)
Desktop Applications:
Average memory usage when idle = 160-200MB
Hard disk space required = 4GB+
Recommended RAM = 512MB+ (should run in 256MB)
Processor = i686 with pae

Hi Roger, thanks for downloading. I hope it works out for you. Let me know how you get on. The Faenza icon set is nice - it might make it's way into a future release!
ReplyDeleteGreat work!! I tried and it works great, but it is based on Debian i386. Can you create a version for amd64 architecture ? That will be great.
ReplyDeleteHi, thanks for trying it and I'm gad you like it. I am am bit tied up with my other project, Chromixium to create a 64 bit version. You could try yourself by following the guide that I produced..?
