There's a fairly new lightweight distro called STX using EDE as the default WM.

I've tested it on my old laptop, which has video problems in Puppy.

It's not bad, except for a bug with dialup modem connections.

A new version of STX is expected after Christmas. There are network bugs being fixed now, so you might as well wait.

I believe there are plans for a liveCD version. If you can read German you might find more information at: http://www.smp.soundhost.de/smf/index.php

I see the distro as complementary to Puppy on older systems, eg STX on your hard drive and Puppy live.

i know this thread is kinda old...

just want to answer the question :D


1.) download the theme
2.) extract the theme to /root/.ede/theme
3.) use EDE's window manager settings
--> check on the "use theme"
--> point out the location of your theme, select the default theme
and click ok
