Emergency update of Debox Live CD is near to release. Please download the very new version of Debox Live CD (1.5) or update your version of bash. (DSA-3032-1 bash -- security update )
-----Notes from Debian web Site------------
Stephane Chazelas discovered a vulnerability in bash, the GNU Bourne-Again Shell, related to how environment variables are processed. In many common configurations, this vulnerability is exploitable over the network, especially if bash has been configured as the system shell.
For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 4.2+dfsg-0.1+deb7u1.

Openbox is not candidate to be replaced at the near future.

Third. Debox need people to help. Propose a program is maybe the best way to help. Just write what do you like...... read more
