Tips to Use
Starting from the appropriately configured XFCE desktop manager that offers stability and a speed that hardly other DM can give, reaching the extreme tweaking of services configurations, boot parameters and of the entire infrastructure, BackBox was built with the aim of achieving the maximum performance with minimum possible consumption of resources.
