wow!

looks really amazing.

Thanks Jamie Cheesy lxde looks like a much better option Cheesy even though its a little more bulky than icewm I think its much more user friendly and configurable.

I'm trying the OS now.  Is there a way to keep files around after reboot?  Every time I restart I lose all the changes I had made.

Yes use the USB version and choose persistence.
I must be doing something wrong then.  I booted with the persistence option.  I then open up xterm, installed vim and created a file.  I rebooted with "shutdown -r now", I booted back up with the persistence option but the changes I made were not there.

Any tips?

It was working my end ? but i did configure this manually to test and then dropped in one of unetbootin's casper-rw's There's a link on the first post of this thread. You could try building your usb stick that way Cheesy Plus you can increase the amount of persistent space.

I will take a look at this properly and make sure it works on the next release.
Yep, looks very cool indeed.

Does it have VNC support, and if not could you add it?

Yes I could do but this one is simple once loaded I plan to add a package directory to the USB version. Just drop any .deb's you want included on boot and they will be installed. Also synaptic package manager is now included so just load that up and type VNC, click and install.

I want to try and keep the extra stuff like VNC down to a minimum due to size restrictions.

I try with my 6870 card & share if i found anything, which helps this project.

Muchas gracias sinor !! Cheesy Exactly what I need is for people to test on there hardware and give some feedback. I have a few 5XXX series radeon cards but really could do with peops testing on the newer hardware and give me some numbers. The pretty little extras are easy but I'm working blind on the hardware stuff ATM Cheesy
