http://crunchbanglinux.org – Just wanted to stop in and thank #! for this great dist. I was a ubuntu user since the beginning of ubuntu and it was now time to find a  new dist do to unity lack of customization. Well I tried out about 10 different dist and the last one I tried was #!. I must say im very pleased with this dist. Im able to customize, Graphics are able to run on my netbook with ease, easy to use, great themes(im really digging the black), based on debian so all the great packages. Thanks for this great distribution i consider myself a crunchbang user now and no longer ubuntu user.  :DThanks-crunchyb (HowTos)

Hello all from Sweden... 22 weeks 4 days ago

Hi...Sitting here with a fresh install of the #! and i like it.I am totally new to this dist but not new to Linux, i have been using Ubuntu for the most part and some other distros over the years.Found this dist a while back but never bothered to try it out, but hey, better late then never!

dist-upgrade 2 years 33 weeks ago

so i've had debain squeeze installed previously. i ran Code: aptitude dist-upgrade because i heard squeeze is now in frozen. i ran Code: lsb_release -a and got this

Code: Distributor ID:    Debian Description:    Debian GNU/Linux testing (squeeze) Release:    testing Codename:    squeeze why does it still say testing? shouldnt it say frozen?

What have I destroyed? I was trying to uninstall pytyle.

I had this problem the first time I installed Ubuntu, and with every dist-upgrade since then. I eventually fix it, but I've never known why it's fixed, and then it gets broken again.

I usually use apt-get update && apt-get upgrade to run my updates and upgrades instead of the GUI because it seems to run more quickly.

However, I've noticed lately that I often get a message that one of my upgrades was held back. I then usually run dist-upgrade to run it through and it works fine.

Bumped!I agree. I am a previous user of Archbang, but due to hardware issues on my new lappy, I reluctantly tried #! Thankfully, I was seriously proven wrong. You guys really know what you're doing, and this distro works great out of the box, while allowing for lots of tweaking and functionality. I'm a huge fan, and have relished the past 3 days of intense hacking and tweaking.

Hi! After upgrading to ubuntu 12.04 I can't open gnome-orca. When I want to open orca I get always this error message:

Code: Traceback (most recent call last):   File "<string>", line 1, in <module>   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/orca/orca.py", line 396, in <module>     _settingsManager = SettingsManager() &nb

I was using UCK to customize an Ubuntu 11.10 image, and ran a dist-upgrade on it (from the console) to try to update all of the packages on it. The upgrade worked successfully for all but two packages, so I tried again and got the same error message. This is what happened:

# sudo apt-get dist-upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...

This was an error I encountered during a dist-upgrade from Lenny/Squeeze to Sid. According to user reports it also happens on an upgrade Lenny -> Squeeze.
