Besides the pretty poor name, anyone have any experience with this particular Ubuntu offshoot?
It's meant to be aimed at intermediate to advanced users, so I may pitch towards this one rather than Arch after Linux Mint since I have access to a live cd.
i'm using it now. it's pretty cool but, it's still ubutu. not that there's anything [i]seriously[/i] wrong with that.

Just tried it in a VM, it's quite good. Very low ram usage. I think I'm gonna copy over their openbox config
How is it aimed at advanced users?

Also how did you manage to quote me yet change the capital at the beginning? :v:
I have no idea.
Just happened.
Oh and the Crunchbang I tested was the normal version, the lite version should use even less resources
downloading crunchbag lite, going to try it in a vm

Decided to burn it and run it from liveCD. Nice and swift. Definitely one of the better distros I've tried.
Definitely installing.
I have no idea how it's aimed at advanced users to be honest, just what I read before trying it. After trying it the only thing I can think is is that it's relatively new so may have some problems most Linux beginners can't fix.
I like it, but I'm not sure if I like it just because of the Openbox, as it's the first Openbox one I've used. Going to try setting an Arch install up on Openbox when I get a free moment to compare I guess.

The auto caps prevention does that. It'll change all caps to lower case even in a quote.

Definitely try it out,. Arch is so fast.

But it was just the first letter, it doesn't change those does it?
Ah well, it doesn't matter.
I use it... [img]http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/8121/stuffk.jpg[/img]
Only thing about crunchbang that annoys me, is that they're using openbox.
The right clicking to get to most menu's are a PITA to me.
But i guess that's just me being too used to menu bars attached to either the top or the bottom of the screen,
It's just to make it look more minimalistic. Also it doesn't need to draw the menu on the screen all of the time.
My biggest complaint about windows is the menu bar having to be docked to the edge of the screen.
Speaking of windows, anybody tried GreenGnome yet?

Wow, that's cool.
I might get it for the WinXP partition.
I tried it, it was pretty buggy, but I also didn't set it up according the instructions (did my own quicker way.)

The last thing. If you don't want OpenBox, just use Ubuntu, enjoy your quadrupled ram use

I'm eagerly awaiting Lubuntu, to check out and compare the LXDE Desktop Enviroment against Xfce.
it should use even less recourses then Xfce :haw:
LXDE sucks dicks man. I suppose it's better than KDE, but gnome and XFCE (and straight up window managers) beat it's ass.
