Great! :-D ...
AHAHAH! LOL

Need a mirror for ISOs?
As I could possibly get one for you :).
What about LibrePod. Like Cephalopod but free. Or Free! (as in Free-bang). Or stick with symbolism with ν!. The lowercase version of the Greek letter Nu, which would mean "Degree of Freedom" bang ... LoL .... or just free-bang.
Anyway, I am interested in the idea (whether you like my suggestions or not). I do like openbox. How can I find out more about the project?
Many of the regulars here use OpenBox on a standard Trisquel install:
1) sudo apt-get install openbox
2) logout
3) click on the little Trisquel logo next to your username and change the desktop from 'trisquel default' to 'openbox'
4) enter your password and login
Voila!
I find this is brilliant for resource-hungry apps which don't really need much multi-tasking, especially games. You just need to know the package name of the program you want to run, and type it into the terminal. If you are used to OpenBox you already know this, but for anyone who hasn't tried it...
There is a package called openbox-menu which adds a list of programs. I have
found it does not list them all if some programs don't give categories in
Openbox's format. So it sometimes makes sense to use the terminal to launch
programs.
Vr#!j(heid)?
"I want to make a fork of Trisquel"
If Trisquel isn't meeting your needs in some way please help to address that
by joining the development of Trisquel to improve it and the things that
don't work for you rather than fragmenting effort by starting a new one.
First of all. Great that you want to help free software.
Instead of a fork, maybe be a part of the NetInstall disc as KDE is today.
KDE version is called Triskel i think. Maybe get your project there? Name
suggestion Trisbox ?? Most people here would not recommend using the word
"open" in Openbox because it hints to open source.
I see that make a fork of something can be great if a project has lost its
road or stopped developing but forking a project that is walking the correct
path and forking it.... It will just lead to confusion and people in the free
software have to work more for less because their is no cooperation.
Trisquel is probably a bad choice for the base of a Crunchbang-esque
distribution. (If Crunchbang's lower system requirements is what you're going
for.)
What is it about Crunchbang that you like?
Can they be done in Trisquel?
Would it be something the Trisquel community at large would be interested in,
or is it something that a small group would be interested in?
If the former, then consider helping with Trisquel development.
There is trisquel mini, perhaps work on that instead of forking?

Octoquel or Seaquel
Those are my suggestions lol
The first thing that poped into my mind was Cthulhu, so trithulu or Cthuel or
something strange like that. ;)
Pretty stupid suggesion I guess but I had to mention it. ^^
I also agree that it could be a part of Trisquel like Triskel is.
Ovine nearly all GNU/Linux-Libre Distributions rely actually on
1 developer except Trisquel (2)
Blag :1
Dragora :1
Musix: 1(?)
Dynebolic: 1
gNewSense :1
Parabola :??
Guix:??
Not endorsed but Libre
ConnochaetOS: 1
ect......
Why Fork when it's obvious that all these projects need help in their
developement!
I may sound harsh...I bark but don't bite :)
If he is serious and gifted with such skills that enable him to be able to
fork Trisquel well i would highly recommend that he help existing projects
that are mostly developed & maintained by one person,mostly on their spare
time ....
Yes!
In fact i doubt wether this person is in fact serious.....so we may be
wasting our time in answering to his""sunday fantassy"...
Suggesting once or twice that ovine should join the development of an
existing distro is one thing. But now you are basically accusing him that
he's doing something bad, which the exact opposite of what he says he wants
to do.
Trisquel isn't the first libre distro either, but you aren't complaining that
it exists are you?
Not only some of you sound harsh, but also very entitled.
Thanks for the feedback, everyone.
I am serious about creating distros, I have created three in the past, two of
which got some decent notoriety. I love to make distros. I do not use
remaster scripts, I just use a terminal.
If I end up forking it as a different product, I will probably at least
create a package or script that will convert the user's install to a
crunchbang-like environment

What about "Trisocto" or "TrisOcto"?
Need a mirror for ISOs?
What display manager will you be using, maybe you should try get the Debian
lightdm and customize it somehow. Idk.
