Lilidog Linux is a lightweight, full featured distribution based on Debian stable with the Openbox window manager. The newest versions are based on Debian stable 13 (Trixie).

Available versions for Debian Trixie:
Full - (Approx. 1300 packages) - Comes with everything necessary to get started. Use the full version if looking for an out of the box computing solution with everything you need.
Beardog - The 'bare' version of lilidog, without lightdm, but the option to install lightdm, and most of the other features of the full version.

Debian Bookworm releases are also available in i386 and xfce4 and will still be supported by Debian for another couple years.
Click on "Files" and then "Releases" for download options. Click on the “i” information icon next to the file to show its checksum.

    My personal all time favorite. Great openbox implementation and great scripts for other window mangers along with a wonderful suite of easy customization options. SUPER stable and absolutely something that was a work of art. I genuinely hope to see a trixie upgrade but, more importantly I hope Sleek is doing great and thank him for the efforts across multiple projects
