GoblinX Micro




Introducing Micro Edition

The GoblinX Micro Edition is the smallest version of our distribution and contains only Fluxbox as windows manager and GTK/GTK2 based applications. The edition is indicated for those users whose like to do fast tests, know more about Fluxbox and rebuild the livecd.

The Micro is created mostly to help us to develop better and small applications that can be used for all small windows managers such as Fluxbox, and also prepare the livecd without all less necessary files we can find.

GoblinX Micro 2.6 Package List: http://www.goblinx.com.br/Micro_2.7.PACKAGES
If you install GoblinX Micro you will need include files in order to compile other applications. Get the includes modules of your Micro version in our repositories.

The ISO image is less than one hundred megabytes of size, but the micro edition contains an excellent source of applications. The small size lets you easily download and also remaster the ISO file, which makes Micro Edition more suited for users whose want to have their own costumized GoblinX.

The edition also is been used for tests and all applications not based on QT libraries can be tested first by the micro edition, and these tests will make more stable the main distro.

It also designed to be our more portable livecd and to help the development of interfaces that can be used for all windows managers.

Try out the micro edition, make it your small Linux LiveCD and save memory, you can also use a minicd to burn it and some other devices.

The Micro Edition contains some of the most often used and praised applications for Linux, even though it has less than one hundred megabytes of size. Some of these best Linux applications included are: Firefox, Gcalctool, Totem, Gimp, Hardinfo, Audacious,
Evince and more.

In comparision with the Mini edition, the Micro does not include man pages, extra languages, office software like Abiword and Gnumeric, 3D libraries and applications like Compiz and Mesa, Pidgin and some other programs. Only english support for now is available.

Note: GoblinX Micro Edition is NOT another GoblinX, is just a small edition containing applications and scripts from the Premium edition. Some features will only completely work in Premium edition, even though they are included in Micro.
