Window Maker Live CD Description
Window Maker Live CD is a Linux distribution that applies the Window Maker window manager as default graphical user interface, and successfully manages to integrate well known standard open source components in a very attractive and usable user interface.This is of special interest for Linux users, who are not really happy with the recent graphic user interface developments of the more commonly applied Linux distributions. As Window Maker provides a very good balance between usability and a light interface, there is no reason to bother with the overhead of a full blown desktop environment.Once the Window Maker Live CD is created and booted, it will automagically start up with a Window Maker session. Thanks to the extensive preconfiguration of the desktop, after having become acquainted with the Window Maker basics, one can just start using it for normal productivity, without having to bother about any major configuration tasks.For the integrated GNOME components, Window Maker Live contains suitably modified gconf settings. Firefox and Thunderbird are included in their latest version 10.0.2, and are already enhanced with some essential productivity addons.Another requisite for Window Maker Live is to also to do without mostly pointless toys, games and gadgets, in order to make room for much more useful system administration features. Gnome2 applications are reduced to a bare minimum, essentially only leaving GDM and the gnome-terminal, and instead more or less equivalent GTK2 and XFCE4 programs are installed.The installed packages also contain a wide range of proven console applications (mc, rsync, screen, sshfs, vim, mutt, openssh, etc.) and advanced features like LVM and the system-config-lvm GUI to manage it. Naturally, quite a few of the most practical Window Maker dockapps were added on top and are already part of the default desktop.Product's homepage
