    Going to go back to this project after 3 years hiatus. Watch this thread for more information.

    Awesome! I just heard about CDE today, and it looks really cool! Like ol' nostalgic windows 95, but with a bit more color.

    Nearly ready for a 1.0ish release with Debian Jessie underneath, but for now:

    Here are all the archived .iso files for CDEbian from 0.3 to 0.8 in a permanent home on Google Drive. 0.8 is easily upgraded to Wheezy or Jessie via the usual proceedure--but you must remove Google Chrome (apt-get autoremove google-chrome-stable) beforehand, Google's no longer making a 32bit version of Chrome.

      Adam, I created an account here first for thanking you because of your great work with CDEbian, and second for cheering you to continue with development so that we could enjoy v1.0.

      I was so puzzled when a few years ago I couldn't find the original page for downloading, but now wow! such a wonderful notice to found out this posts and that you are resurrecting the project. Thank you very much!!!

    This is great news! CDEbian is awesome and I have been using it for a while. It would be great if you could make a version for Raspberry PI etc.

    CDEbian is such a beauty! slim and fast - a blast from the past.
    I'm looking forward to see it in 1.0
    Until then - thank you! You made me a very happy CDE user. (wew time flies...)

    Hope you make an Ubuntu 16.04 based version! Or maybe Arch :0 ?

    Heya, it has been a while. I resurected 0.8 off cdebian.hand.is today. If anyone has latest dev please inbox me.

    Adam's accounts are all vaped. No idea what happened. I hope this is not the Adam that died last year. Anyone any idea what happened with him or the project?

    Adam's work is worthy of anointment and a passage in history. CDE is not even a search keyword in distrowatch, hardly anything has it yet it's history and utilitarian use is rich comparable to it's nemesis WindowMaker (OS/2 vs NeXTStep reference.)

    Hi,

    If somebody is still interessted. I´d found version 1.0 of CDEbian on github.
    https://github.com/andarazoroflove/CDEbian

    Now it´s in 64bit, but without installer and installed applications.

    Yeah I am interessted as I use to use CDE over 20 year ago i believe and i could not believe when I saw it was still alive.

    Trying to compile the latest original code as we speak but will look at CDEbian now
