Introducing Mini Edition

The GoblinX Mini Edition is the son of GoblinX and contains only XFCE as windows manager and GTK/GTK2 based applications. The edition is indicated for those users whose want to remaster the distro and also those with difficulties to download more than three hundreds of megabytes, original size of GoblinX Standard. The GoblinX Mini Edition will have newer versions released faster and it will be used also for tests and for system and hardware support improvements.

About Mini Edition

The Mini Edition includes GoblinX default modules such as a_Core.mo, a_Deflibs.mo, a_X11.mo, a_Xfce.mo,  a_Defapps.mo, modules included also in Standard edition.

GoblinX Mini 2.6 Package List: http://www.goblinx.com.br/Mini_2.6.PACKAGES
If you install GoblinX Mini you will need include files in order to compile other applications. Get the includes modules of your Mini version in our repositories.

The ISO image is less than one hundred and seventy megabytes of size, but the mini edition contains an excellent source of applications. The small size lets you easily download and also remaster the ISO file, which makes Mini Edition more suited for users whose want to have their own costumized GoblinX, and those whose wish to rebuild Mini in order to create the Premium edition.

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

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

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

Note: GoblinX Mini 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 Mini, because both editions use the same set of scripts and GUIs, for example, in the Magic Center, some features only work with KDE, not included in Mini Edition.
