Paul Seelig announced last evening, March 11th, the immediate availability for download of the Window Maker Live CD 2012-03-11 Linux operating system.
Window Maker Live CD is a Linux distribution based on Debian Linux and the lightweight Window Maker window manager.
Being based on Debian 7 Wheezy, the new release brings various changes, such as an enhanced Window Maker root menu, with the ability to backup and restore the preferences, and a customizable AutoStart management feature.
Other improvements to Window Maker Live CD 2012-03-11 include full user control for the applications menu entries and layout, enhanced integration of the GTK2-Step theme, new theme for the Debian installer, automatic update of the GRUB boot menu, new backintime-gnom app, and an enhanced wmlive-fix-grub-install script.
I would really like something like this. It would be great for laptops. Especially older ones.
But the click-both-buttons-together substitute doesn't seem to quite cut it on a center-front touchpad, and I find lack of an easy middle-click to be a real snag.
Quoting:I take it, "older laptop" means "touchpad doesn't support multi-touch"?
That is not necessarily true for the IBM Thinkpad T42, My old one with display hinge broken has a middle button that sticks out like a sore thumb. :-)
Quoting:My EeePC has multi-touch, and I use it all the time.
My daughter's HP Pavilion DM1z has that but she had me turn it off because she couldn't get used to it.
