Actually used #! over and over, but it's my first time here

http://crunchbanglinux.org – So here's my story. Started out on Ubuntu 11.04 when it was Brand New. Got bored with it, Unity started to get frustrating, and so I did a bunch of research and ended up downloading CrunchBang Statler. Really dug it, but I experienced the itch to distro-hop (like most of us, I assume) after a few weeks, and ended up trying alternately Debian Stable, Fedora, Arch, ArchBang, Ubuntu 11.10, Xubuntu, and possibly a few others. Couldn't stand all the stuff the 'buntu's came installed with, Arch(Bang) and Fedora's package managers just frustrated me to no end (I have yet to u (HowTos)

Hello!I am new to Crunchbang, and wish I had used it sooner. It is definitely the distro for me. I've distro hopped for the past 3 years. I've used Ubuntu, Debian, zenwalk, PClinuxOS, and a slew of other distros.

I started this thread because I thought some of you wondered how my very recent distro hopping went along; see this topic.Wanted to let you know I now solved this almost unsolvable issue with my sound (very loud pop upon shutdown/reboot). If you take a look here, you can see there's a fix for this issue at the Arch Forums.So, after trying Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora and #!

as of the last couple months i have been on a linux kick, getting quite bored with my Windows 7 builds. So i started in the only place i knew, Ubuntu. From there i branched like a virus testing every distro i could get my hands on (linux mint, freeBSD, netBSD, Fedora, CentOS, Ubuntu, KUbuntu, EdUbuntu, XUbuntu... well you get the idea.

To be honest, Statler is one of the most stable operating systems I have used.  I am on Waldorf now, and have been going for two months with zero issues.  #!

Howdi just discovered crunchbang from distro watch, Come from an Ubuntu < 10.10 background, then after Unity reared its head moved to opensuse and then when I couldn't stand yast decided to go to Fedora 16 but for some reason it refuses to work on my laptop, installs fine but then wont boot :(So off to Distro Watch seen crunchbang and I'm so glad Fedora didn't work now as crunchb

It’s been some four months since I’m not using my favorite Distro (Arch Linux), I’m now using Debian.

All started because I’ve made some changes to my Arch Linux computer, and it stopped working, I needed something to work, and because the installation process of Arch Linux is not that easy or at least not that fast, I decided to go with Debian.

While Debian and Ubuntu (along with their respective derivatives) have been my distro of choice for many years, I've since started delving into the other side Linux. Non Debian/Ubuntu distros. I've tried quite a few over the past couple months. From the somewhat complicated (Arch, Gentoo) to the more user-friendly (Fedora, OpenSUSE).

Seems I've fallen in love with one in particular. Fuduntu.

Good evening, fellow CrunchBang enthusiasts -My primary system is an HP Pavilion dv6000 laptop, currently running Xubuntu 12.04. Xubuntu has been my main distribution since July of this year; I ended up using it after browsing DistroWatch hoping for a non-Debian Xfce-based distribution.Xubuntu has been working all right for me, mostly - up until today.

Give it a nice name. Don't call it a distro. Let others do it if they want. Be very clear and open as to what you are doing. Don't claim to do or be what you are not. Archbang is doing this. Crunchbang, Aptosid with debian. And have fun. But serve your users well. Don't push them here because you don't have the resources.
