Why Openbox?
Openbox doesn't follow the desktop environment metaphor; it's a window manager that gives you a blank canvas. It uses almost zero system resources, leaving all your RAM and CPU power for your applications. With its right-click menu system and simple XML-based configuration, it's a favorite for users who want a "distraction-free" environment where they are in total control of every pixel.
Reviving Legacy Hardware
Openbox is so efficient that it can make a 15-year-old computer feel like new. Combined with our 32-bit (i686) builds, AcreetionOS Openbox is the ultimate tool for keeping older hardware out of the landfill and in productive use.
