I had not heard of that one before!

I would not want to tell anyone else what to run, but I have
experimented with minimalist window managers before, both on Linux and
on FreeBSD, and they are not for me. I am perfectly capable of popping
open an xterm, making a mount point and mounting my own devices when I
need to, but it is 2013 and I want my computer to do all that sort of
menial work for me. If I plug a flash-key in, I want a desktop icon to
appear all on its own, thank you. :¬)

Good luck!

Just post a Howto, or upload an image make with Remastersys, or
something, please?

That is not fair. This is a volunteer effort. Sometimes, people's
lives get in the way: births, deaths, marriages, divorces, jobs,
illnesses. We don't know why the maintainers have been inactive, so we
do not know if it is their fault or not.
