the installation of the distro was pretty straightforward basically. i used the extended iso which doesn't require network connection , and still being minimal it worked as expected

the post-install phase was more difficult though , because i didn't get networking software working properly , as i took actually two days in setting it up. ended up using dhcpcd and wpa_supplicant because networkmanager is a fucking pain , and connman didn't work somehow , even with the service enabled on the default runlevel.

afterwards i started customizing openbox with the tint2 panel , and as of today , like a month after it pretty much like it , it looks so simple but also beautiful.

i pretty much replicated the setup on one of my new hosts , the only difference was it that i did not use the installation image but a minirootfs tarball for chroots
