Unlike the PiSiN project previously announced on the list, AGNoStep is 
not tied to any architecture. The example shown was to demonstrate it 
was not only on a Raspberry Pi.
But if you can install Debian Trixie on your computer, you could 
install and run AGNoStep on.
Of course, if you have a Raspberry Pi, instead prefer using PiSiN.

I added some laptop-detect assumption to add Battery monitoring on the 
Sysinfo Panel (Conky).

- I do install debian regular package of wmaker because it is now the 
latest (0.96.0) on Trixie.
- For GNUstep, as discussed in previous messages, the choice is to 
build it all to have the latest stable libs. For the same reason, I 
build all the Frameworks and the Apps. For example, you will have the 
latest GNUMail version.
And there is only one main script to do it all: 'enjoy.sh'.

AGNoStep is providing in the 'Books' folder, some documentation to be 
read in 'HelpViewer': namely, 'GWorkspace User Guide'.

Once AGNoStep is installed, you can execute in a Terminal shell:
'agnopstep --info' to get the current versions of the GNUstep libs 
installed.

Last, but not the least, AGNoSetp is installing the theme AGNOSTEP 
(derived from PISIN Theme):
namely the Icons adapted from Papirus. See below.

Enjoy!
