Scorpio_2013-1 is now out.  Download size is 523mb. 

Download - Scorpio_2013-1.iso

Scorpio is based on Debian Wheezy, using the Testing repos.  It uses pure Openbox, with no panel, icons or "desktop".  It runs no eye candy or special effects.  It is designed to run light and fast, and to supply a stable base for further development if required.  But it works great as is!

Lightdm is DM, Thunar is FM; Chromium default browser; terminal is xterm, although there is also urxvt with tabs embedded in the desktop.  There is also lxappearance, gparted, unetbootin, and remastersys.  There is no synaptic - if you need that then su to root and "apt-get install synaptic".  Having done that though you may then be wondering why you needed synaptic in the first place!  By the way, there is no sudo.

Desktop shortcuts are included in the root menu - these are visible in the screenshot below.  Other shortcuts are in a shortcut sub-menu under "Openbox", including for pytyle which does window tiling on the fly.  Also visible in the screenshot is conky and the embedded urxvt terminal.  There has been an extra icon theme added, and there is a "Places" entry in the root menu.

Website for Scorpio_Openbox has lots of info and instructions.

But this is the place for brainstorming and problem solving!

Taco.22:
Due to the base that Scorpio is built on, and the issues regarding locales and language, Scorpio will be relaunched on the Village_RC1 base once it achieves RC2 status, which should be soon.  In the meantime it works fine as an English only release.  Stay tuned for further details.

Hi,

I noticed Scorpio is just over 500MB and LV is just over 400 MB

Is that because LV is at a higher compression ?

I thought Scorpio was the lightest version.

LinuxVillage is lighter than Scorpio.  Scorpio has Chromium rather than Midori, and the compression ratio was different.  I now have a new Scorpio based on LinuxVillage_RC2 - will be interesting to see how it compresses.  I'll be uploading once LV_RC2 is sorted.

patrick013,

Good eye. Scorpio used lzma compression and LV uses xz compression. Taco.22 may go back to lzma for LinuxVillage.
