If you want to work with Burg-Manager, you have to install BUC from:
- repository
- debian packages
- compiling sources
Once you have installed BUC, download the debian package of burg-manager for your architecture.
Arch | Name | Version | Download | Downloads |
i386 | burg-manager | 1.0.0 | ||
amd64 | burg-manager | 1.0.0 |
Then you can install Burg-Manager on your pc:
sudo dpkg -i burg-manager*
You will find burg-manager in applications>system
Obviously as you can see the project is still in an “embryonic” state, therefore I’m not be responsible for any problem resulting from the burg-manager.

Just one question: Is this a dead project? I’ve tried installing and the links don’t work and the terminal commands have a “line 52” error. I really hope this project isn’t dead as it was the THE best alternative to those crappy 90s, “BBS” looking menus that Linux leaves you with.
