If you switch kernels frequently at boot my wicd conks out.
On Scorpio I have a 3.2.x a 3.7.x and a 3.9.x If I stay with
the same kernel, it stays working, switching to some other
kernel it conks out. The nm-applet didn't seem to care and
works regardless of the last kernel used or the next kernel used.
Just FYI

Good thing! Here we came out from freezer to oven. :D
(although we also had quite so days with rain).
--- Citer ---I suspect you want an Openbox based respin.
--- Fin de citation ---
Yes I do.
--- Citer --- I've only done one, the DebWeb. It has a few extra packages you may not want, and some were not installed conventionally, using a package manager. For that reason, I would pick one of Taco.22's, probably the Scorpio_2013-2. I think the only things you'd need to do are (1) a full update after installation and (2) (optionally) the installation of the latest Thunar.
Or, you could install the DebLXDE respin, do a full update, then remove the LXDE packages.

And what is ths status for Village RC2? Does it need to be tested? Else : which one do you think is ok to work with now, testing, or stable is still the way to go in order to have a reliable install?
Thanks. :)

I picked Scorpio because it's the newer one. Village_RC2_TEST is good to go, as far as I'm concerned. DebWeb is based on one of Taco's earlier efforts. Any of the ones I've mentioned would do fine after being updated. Whether to switch to testing is up to you. However, since this is going to be a "learning platform" for you, I'd say stay with the wheezy (current) repos. There's no sense adding extra problems. Switching to a different Debian repo is a piece of cake. I've already switched the Deb_e17 to unstable branch because it was the only way to get Debian's latest e17 packages. So far, I've had zero problems.
There is one thing you should be aware of. Once you've installed from Village_RC2_TEST or DebLXDE or Scorpio_2013-2, you need to check the installation. I believe they will all have the same problem. There's some cleanup needed after installation. The problem with the Remastersys installer began shortly before fragadelic quit work on Remastersys.
After installation, do as root:
--- Code: ---updatedb
--- Fin du code ---
--- Code: ---locate .squashfs | less
--- Fin du code ---
There will be two sets of .squashfs files in your installation that need to be deleted. The first in the list will be one file. Delete it with:
--- Code: ---rm /lib/live/mount/medium/live/filesystem.squashfs
--- Fin du code ---
The next is a set of files. You'll see them in the listing. You need to take out the whole directory. Do:
--- Code: ---rm -rf /lib/live/mount/rootfs/filesystem.squashfs
--- Fin du code ---
This is a problem with the last Remastersys installer not doing complete cleanup. I promised I'd look at it, but haven't gotten around to it yet. :-[
If after making a lot of changes to your installation you should decide to remaster, just shout out if you need any Remastersys pointers. Taco.22 and I have used it many times.
