CrunchBang Linux - Soft, calm and beautiful

Hello all,

Another review of a lovely distro, if you're interested ...

CrunchBang Linux, a Ubuntu-based distribution running lightweight Openbox desktop manager - covering topics like Wireless, Bluetooth, Web camera support, Multimedia (Flash, Windows video, MP3 playback), Samba sharing, printing, proxy, appearance, applications, installation, and more.

I think you will like it.

Nice find! I'll have to read more about that one.

 

I like it.

I have a (second) old lappy here (Tosh M300) and was wanting to blatt it and put one, maybe two distros on it.

I've found one

 

Nice review, Thanks Mrkvonic.

I just started using it as my main distro about 3 days ago.

 

Nice one Mrk. About Compositing, you said

Did you try putting another window behind the terminal while transparent? Does it show, or the wallpaper? I know it's a detail, but i'm curious.

 

I don't remember if I did ... I could try ...
Mrk

 

It reminds me of why KDE developers didn't want to make transparency available without 3D acceleration. Because it wasn't 'real transparency'.
Again, it's a detail, but it would confirm what they were saying.

In any case, i liked the review Mrk, as always

 

Hmmm!!! This one installs in Vbox but it won't install the Guest Additions. Says to install the GNU compiler but that is already installed.

 

Maybe a different version? Did you sudo apt-get install build-essential before installing guest addons?
