Powered by the Linux 4.13 kernel series and based on the Debian Testing (upcoming Debian GNU/Linux 10 “Buster”) and Debian Sid repositories, DebEX Barebone LXDE Build 171030 replaces the LXQt desktop environment that was used in previous versions with LXDE, probably to make the ISO smaller and the OS a bit faster. All packages included in DebEX Barebone LXDE Build 171030 have been updated to their latest versions as of October 30, 2017, and among some of the most popular apps pre-installed in the OS, we can mention Mozilla Firefox 56.0.2, GCC 7.2.0, various of the packages from the GNOME 3.26.1 Stack, and much more.
