use my machines!
I then use apt-get to install synaptic, openbox and rox-filer. This
automagically installs all the desktop stuff I*actually* need and
none of the

I set up sudo for synaptic, halt and reboot (and other specialised stuff
depending on the intended environment).
For the basic desktop I finally create a .profile containing just
startx, and
a .config/openbox/autostart containing rox -S &
One reboot and I'm into a fully functional minimum desktop, after
which I use
synaptic to pull in whatever else I need, depending on what the
machine is
going to be used for - I compile specialist stuff of course.
I always get happy when I read things like this. 5 steps and you have a
great base to roll out your own Linux audio setup on. Thanks for sharing
Will!
I'll have to try this on the next system I set up. It's a much more
streamlined/minimalist approach than what I did last time. Thanks!
