You will find all related information on the project website, Bentovillage. If you find bugs on the latest Bento Trusty or Bento Sushi Trusty versions, thanks for posting to The Linuxvillage forum.

Two small and light Graphical User Interfaces will appear in the menus in a next version of Bento Openbox.

Bento Openbox Trusty

The other programs are the ones installed in Sushi, which is the minimalistic version:

User interface:
Midori to surf the web, Geany as text editor and programming tool with syntax coloration;

Text mode tools:
sdparm, testdisk, htop, mc, lftp, hdparm lshw, openssh-server, openssh-client, rtorrent…

Other Internet software:
Some tools for the network, including network-manager-gnome, wpasupplicant, wpagui;

Transparency:
Xcompmgr is installed and configured, Compton is installed and is waiting for some configuration;

Several community sources have been added with their PPA repos and some of their software:

• « ppa:mati75/lubuntu-testing » provides Openbox 3.6.0 git with a patch from Mati75 allowing to use xdg-autostart instead of python-xdg, if obsession is installed, and provides Midori 0.5.9 to replace the old Midori 0.4.3 from the repositories;
• « ppa:kalgasnik/ppa » for lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings, provides a graphical tool to customize the lightdm login screen;
• « ppa:ravefinity-project/ppa » for vibrantly-simple-icon-theme, an awesome icon theme provided with several colors to choose from.

The two new ISOs, are Release Candidates, and are for this reason reduced sized test versions ( 475MB) for a Vivid edition of Bento Village with the codename “Sushi”. They come with almost no application for everyday use, and tools for the advanced users.

As a reminder, Bento Openbox is a super light version built on Ubuntu and easy to use for everyone.

Here are a few programs contained in Sushi:

User Interface:

Midori to surf the web, geany as text editor and programming tool with syntax
highlighting,

Text tools:
sdparm, testdisk, htop, mc, lftp, hdparm lshw, openssh-server
openssh-client, rtorrent,

Network:
tools for the network include network-manager-gnome,
wpasupplicant, wpagui,

xcompmgr is installed and configured, compton is installed
and waiting for the xcompmgr configuration files to be ported to compton.

There are also several community PPA and their program:

• The “ppa:mati75/lubuntu-testing” provides Openbox 3.6.0 git with a patch written by Mati75 allowing to use xdg-autostart from the obsession project, instead of python-xdg if obsession is installed, and provides Midori 0.5.9 as a replacement to the old Midori 0.4.3 from the actual repositories;
• The “ppa:kalgasnik/ppa” pour lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings, as it’s name states, provides a graphical user interface to configure the Lightdm login screen;
• The “ppa:ravefinity-project/ppa” brings the vibrantly-simple-icon-theme, a beautiful and lean icon theme which comes with several colors.

The RC1 version contains resolvconf while the RC2 provides openresolv. I have not yet made my mind about which of the two does a better job for the resolver. Some feedback are needed in order to pick up one for the future final version.

As always, get to the Downloads page to get them.

As of June 30th all Bento versions have been updated, and new editions have been produced. Bento also comes now with a i686 non PAE as well as a i686 PAE version.

Bento, the little Ubuntu Openbox made easy distribution, now has a mirror. While the main repos is hosted by Phillw on a virtual machine on his CentOS server, the replicated images are on another one of his servers, powered by Ubuntu, also in a virtual machine managed by JasonO. Thanks to them both! Thanks also to captnfab, for his great help!
