DreamStep will only be available in DVD size ISOs. Unlike what I did with Liquid Lemur, DreamStep will be more than just a base CD type ISO. It will provide a more complete OS out of the box. I had even talked of moving Lemur to DVD size, before I left. DVDs are commonplace these days, so hopefully it won't be a problem. After all, a lot of other distros are DVD size. Of course, there is still the option of using USB type drives in place of a DVD.

Some of you may consider this move taboo...especially with such a light-weight desktop as Window Maker. I, however, disagree. I think it provides a complete OS to the end user. This is handy if you are installing to a PC that doesn't have Internet access.

I remember that I caught some flak for having a DVD size Window Maker distro in the past (HEKA OS). But this time I will ignore all that and press on. Of course, there will still be little bits here and there that you will need to install; such as codecs. Thanks to the corporate controlled country I live in, I can't include them on disc.

All the tools to tweak the OS will still be there. Basically, this is like the old CD based Lemur Window Maker, but with all the everyday apps already installed. For those that are familiar with the Debian based Lemur tool, APE-MAN, DreamStep will be like if you installed the Desktop Edition.

I may decide to provide a "netinstall" type in the future. But don't hold your breath!  

Welcome to the support site for the Linux distro, DreamStep! For those that don't know, I've walked away from my old distro, Liquid Lemur. This decision was personal and in no way should it reflect negatively on Liquid Lemur. I'm sure Liquid Lemur will continue on just fine without me. I am more familiar with Debian than I am with Arch (under the hood, so to speak). So, in order to keep the community from having to wait months for a new Window Maker release, I moved back to a Debian base for my Window Maker builds.

It would not have been a good idea to have two, largely, different bases under one distro. So, after an interesting discussion with the other Lemur devs, I decided it was best to go solo. I will only have a Window Maker version of DreamStep (I'm finally listening to an old friend and sticking to one thing...that I know well.). Of course there will be 32 and 64 bit versions. And all the usual apps from the Debian Lemurs will be included. I'm still using the LMDE installer, as before. And I've included some other Debian-ized LMDE tools / apps to better the experience.

The Window Maker Resurrection Project (WMRP) will be here as well. It was never promised to Lemur, so it will be setup on this site as soon as possible. However, I've lost a lot of the files that I had collected. So, it will take me some time to get them again.

To some of you, the name "DreamStep" may be familiar. Yes, I had a distro called DreamStep once before. It was based on Dreamlinux and AfterStep/Window Maker. I had planned to call this new distro Liquid OS. However, I ran into a bit of a SNAFU and I had to change the name. I came across some of my old DreamStep work and decided to just bring DreamStep back from the grave.

Anyhoo, welcome to the site and DreamStep!
