http://crunchbang.org – yesterday i followed these instructions - http://linuxg.net/how-to-install-mate-on-debian-wheezy/ - and got Crunchbang completely broken (even internet access i got missing), after a massive package removing from apt-get update and apt-get upgrade, so i had to reinstall it again - (and weird is that on the other computer that i have Crunchbang-wheezy installed i have Mate installed there perfectly and co-existing with Gnome3 ) - do someone has a great tutorial about how must we do on Crunchbang? (HowTos)

I just installed Mate on top of Ubuntu by the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://packages.mate-desktop.org/repo/ubuntu oneiric main" sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install mate-archive-keyring sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install mate-core sudo apt-get install mate-desktop-environment

Which caused no problems, but many things (window theme, Mint menu, ...) are missing

Window snapping in mutter 3 weeks 5 days ago

Hello guys; i've ran kde for quite some time now. I dislike some things about kde though, but i love kwin. I have installed Mate into Debian Wheezy, but i knew i'd miss some features that kwin provided. kwin causes graphical issues with mate, gnome and xfce for some reason though. I have been looking into alternative window managers i can use with mate. One feature i desire is window snapping.

The installation of wheezy defaulted to the KDE desktop environment. How do I remove it and switch to GNOME 2 (the version that is used in stable)?

I fear that if I just install gnome-core, it will install GNOME 3. Can I just make sources.list point to an older version of some package?

I prefer GNOME 2 because it works well with bluetile (I don't want MATE, or other copies).

There are basically 2 ways of running debian testing a.k.a. wheezy (or unstable a.k.a. sid) with crunchbang goodies:1) you can either install #! (based on debian stable a.k.a.
