STX Control Centre

About

The STX control centre is designed to be a very lightweight system centre that'll work with almost any GNU/Linux distribution. It makes use of FLTK, the Fast Light Tool Kit, so that it uses minimal system resources.

It has been pointed out that this could also be used in a kiosk system; if anyone's interested in putting a kiosk system together please feel free to email me and suggest changes which would make it more suitable for this purpose.

This and other tools are being developed for the STX GNU/Linux distribution which aims for very low hardware requirements; You can find out more about STX at http://www.stibs.cc/stx.

I'll also be releasing an FLTK based LiveCD installer as well as a few other small tools in the near future.
