[debian] Notes on using OpenBSD under virt-manager

* CDROM must be SATA

* Remove the "tablet device" from the preferences, as I've encountered some issues with it.
I'm using CWM on both the host and guest, and I've noticed some strange behaviour with Virt-Manager. Specifically, when I use Alt + mouse to move a window, it affects the virtual window on the host instead of the guest.

[debian] slow startup of GTK3 apps like firefox/seahorse etc as user (runs ok as root)

A solution that works is to source the systemd user session to your X11 environment, eg by entering this line into the .xinitrc

"lean" debian? ... try NakeDeb

nakeDeb is a french* Debian based derivative distribution intended to deliver an ultra-minimal debian installation allowing you to quickly install a working system or use it as a lightweight live backup.


*fear not, the distro is way useful for non-French speakers , like me. It is in fact my main OS on the PC , at least not the crap-o-bloat of Gnome/KDE , Fluxbox is bit ancient here - 1.3.5 from... 2011 ! the "latest"  one is 1.3.7 (2015? IIRC)  not that much of difference as no super-duper new features are there.

Feel free to install - play and customise this gem!
