Title: Thank you for the distro!
Post by: Swaphead on February 25, 2016, 03:28:15 PM
I've been using Linux for about 6 years now, but I'm pretty much a click-and-point person who prefers distros
to "just work out of the box" so I've tended to stick with 'Buntu derivatives ( + LXDE because I'm a cheapskate
who uses older computers).
This is the first DEBIAN-only distro that I've tried which meets my requirements as stated above.
A control panel for LXDE and a menu editor are most welcome.

Pros:
Well, I would like to say that I very like this distro. Honestly, I am even impressed, how it could be easy to use testing Debian with drivers, live cd etc. Great work!
Cons:
Personally, I would like to have better graphical appearance. Default plymonth-screen and wallpapers are just horrible.

Any photo that looks good at your screens resolution can be used as wallpaper - never really understood why disros bother to load up wallpapers at all in the installation iso.   Just put the photos in your wallpaper directory.  Here is a discussion for Openbox window manager, and at the bottom, as well as in some of the links. are numerous images that I have used:
