Been away for a few days but now back with a new iso image and a small change. Obconf was recently dropped by Archlinux and was very useful for some minor settings in Openbox. Noticed that lxappearance-obconf-gtk3 is still in repos and have added it to latest iso image. It is not as feature rich … Had a short break…

Have a small error in conky configuration. It seems part of conky is hidden by panel at top of screen. Thanks to Jes for letting me know, an easy fix I have just changed a line in conky.conf to read: gap_y = 40, Am taking a break from GreenBANG head quarters next weekend for a … Conky is hiding…..

Ok so it seems mvuser throws an error while trying to set up a new user. My mistake I removed a space in code, fixed now. Some other rebranded of installer has been made.

Sourceforge will remain as ArchBang as it would only confuse new users and old … Concerns about change of name….

Hey folks, I’ve been doing some thinking (dangerous, I know 😉). ArchBang has carried me—and hopefully you—through more than a decade of lightweight, no-nonsense Linux goodness.
