i3 wm really rocks. I want to spread the love of i3. If you dont use tiling wm, you gotta try i3 out. it is very efficient.
the main project home page: http://marchproject.weebly.com/
I tried to make this live cd as easy to use as possible.
You will be surprised that this live cd is only 315 mb with pretty much everything you need included.
see the packages: https://github.com/taylorchu/march/blob … kages.list
* Few notes
1. if you want to install this on your computer, just type /install in terminal.
3. the password for root and march is "pass"

Keep it up!

I added out-of-box printer support, and updated all packages.
Please test the new installer, which supports partition and install bootloader.

I added the git version of aif, which fixes lots of bugs.

I second that. I3 is a wonderful window manager. I had an issue with the workspace management as you cannot move tags between screens. The I came up with an easy and good solution. I bound the odd tags to LVDS1 and even ones to VGA and now I can jump between tags and windows easely. Try it for a week or two. You won't be disappointed.

@Dieter@be
no worry. I wrote my installer in recent march release.

I look forward to trying this.
In the meantime could you supply some larger screenshots?
Even on github I cannot see the panels very well
Offline
Installed...only problem I have is that the status part of the bottom panel has disappeared.
ie. I have a black panel at the bottom of the screen showing the workplace number but no clock/stats etc...
I am new to i3, any ideas on fixing this would be appreciated.

@ancleessen4
I guess you are using virtualbox. vb does not have cpu temperature (in /sys) implemented. so i3status will have strerr.
by default if i3bar sees any stderr, it will ignore the input. if you test on a real machine, the status bar will be there.

Really great, fast all software that I use on my desktop is already preinstalled, even i3-wm. Downloading it, thanks.

@taylorchu
Thanks for the feed back.
Actually, this install was to an SSD.
However, from the terminal I do remember an error message related to cpu temp measurement.
Unfortunately, I am away from the machine at the moment so I cant give you any code to look at.
I will investigate further tomorrow...

ok, this time solved intel boot issue, but i3...no thinks, how about E17 liked bodhilinux doing?
Offline
i dislike the philosophy of e17.
it uses too much animation

updated to i3wm 4.1
updated stuff: libreoffice, zathura, ranger, sai installer, boot screen ...
this version uses testing repo, but the actual install does not.

Where is the download link?
Offline
...I got a public link suspension from dropbox, which means that i violated 10gb/day bandwidth.
we really need a reliable place to save the iso files. maybe rapidshare.

it has been at least 4 months since the last release of march.
this release is really beefy shown in the changelog, but still, it is in 424 mb.
march has now a real project homepage and a forum, using a lot of self-compiled software to allow users to have better experience.

I'd love to try this, but my laptop doesn't have an optical drive. Any chance you could list some steps to get it on a USB stick (if possible)?
