While I am still working hard to write a new file manager for PostX 0.3 here are the PostX beta1 wallpapers in the mean time.
I uploaded two preview pictures to my GPL gallery: http://www.techtimejourney.net/gpl-art/2033-2/
The full 5 wallpapers set is available as a zip file under the Wallpaper series section below the title: PostX 0.3. beta1 wallpapers.
Enjoy!

Here is a short update about PostX 0.3 development.
* Slim display manager is coming back with a new theme.
* PostX 0.3. will use Bluez 4 (if possible) so that the Bluez-alsa connection does not break. Bluez5 currently has no support for Alsa.
*Miimo compression tool will get fixed. While the fixes have already been done I will do some testing before I release the fix.
* Currently I am writing a new file manager. I decided to name this project as Crosslinker FM. The file manager is written in Python and will hopefully be done in about 1,5 months or a lot sooner. I am also considering about writing a GUI version of Miimo compression tool, which I would include and later integrate to Crosslinker FM. Continue reading

After very long and careful fine-tuning I am proud to release PostX 0.3 first beta.
Download PostX 0.3. beta from my Sourceforge.net page

Some general questions and answers about the beta:
Q: Is it unstable to use?
A: It should not be. However, there might be some minor errors since 0.3. marks a major transition in PostX Gnu/Linux.
Q: Are the packages compatible with Debian Jessie?
A: Yes. Do not upgrade the base-files package though and do not install the apt-configs package if using Debian. The packages in question might break things or alter them in a ways you may not desire.
Q: How final is this the beta version?
A: General outlines are in place. The next beta will be more about fine-tuning things further and upgrading some old dusty things and building more optimized packages. Since the 0.3. beta is a moving target I will release upgrades via techtimejourney’s software channel and build a meta package, which pulls in all the latest things when they appear.
Q: Does the beta fit to a cd?
A: The iso size is about 764 megabytes. The release got bigger due the appearance of Libreoffice and likes. You should get a dvd or an usb stick. Burn image to usb stick like this:
sudo dd bs=4M if=Audax-0.2.iso of=/dev/sdb && sync
The beta user name is: audax and the password is live
Extra note (16th of August): to installthe beta to hd open a terminal client and type sudo live-installer during the live-mode. To switch between opened windows within openbox press ALT + TAB Continue reading
