The goal of this project is to make an Xfce Debian based system that is much like Xubuntu.
Features
-
Based on Debian Unstable/sid. (Is Unstable right for me?)
-
Uses Xfce as the desktop environment.
-
Modified default configuration, inspired by Xubuntu, to give you a traditional desktop look and feel.
-
With Greybird and Elementary Xfce icon theme from the Shimmer Project for Xfce integration.
FAQ
Q: Is this a derivative of Debian?
Xebian most closely resembles a Debian blend, with only a thin layer for artwork and configuration that differs from Debian. No Xfce components "jump ahead" in Xebian and all packaging work is done as part of the Xfce team.
Q: What installer is used within Xebian? Does it have a live desktop?
Xebian comes as a live image, and while initially Xebian used debian-installer we’ve decided to follow the Debian Live team in switching to Calamares.
Q: I’ve locked myself out of the live session, what’s the default password?
live-build sets the username and password, at the time of this writing the username is 'user' and password is 'live'.
