Resuscitating Your Old Computer: Crunchbang Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| All in all, I liked Crunchbang very much. It really gave new life to my old
| Vaio.
|
| If you’re willing to use the command line every now and then then, with the
| help of a very active community you can setup your system any way you want.
| Crunchbang is easily the best compromise between speed, looks and difficulty
| I’ve found so far. I definitely recommend trying it.

Mandriva 2009.1 Review
,----[ Quote ]
| Mandriva 2009.1 is overall an excellent transition from Windows to Linux, and
| comes with many great features for the tech-savvy user who wants an improved,
| sleek desktop look and feel as well as an abundance of programs to use.
| Before its merger with Conectiva, Mandrake Linux was concerned with making
| the Linux desktop more compatible for the end user, easier to understand and
| operate, as well as all-around better looking. With those goals in mind,
| Mandriva Linux as it is known today has accomplished those goals of
| popularizing the Linux desktop all while creating an awesome user-interface
| that gives the utmost control to the computer user.
|
| [...]
|
| All in all, the Mandriva 2009.1 is a great Linux environment that has the
| power to give both Linux-familiar and new-to-Linux users an awesome look,
| feel, and experience! With the 20,000 program directory that Mandriva 2009.1
| contains and all the new programs that are unique to Mandriva Linux along
| with the quick, easy, and out-of-the-box instant setup, anyone coming to
| Mandriva 2009.1 should find it to be an enjoyable time!

Back with a CrunchBang #!
,----[ Quote]
| WHAT happened to the "p-y-e-o-w-w-w"?
|
| I've lost count of the number of times the sci-fi blaster sound that
| CrunchBang Linux makes when it starts up has made me - or someone in the room
| with me - jump.
|
| Now, it makes an equally sci-fi "boop-bleep-bup" sound which is nice, but
| doesn't have the same dramatic effect of making people duck if your speaker
| volume is maxed-out.

CrunchBang Linux 9.04.01 Review and Screenshot Tour
,----[ Quote ]
| All in all, I admit I had a lot of fun testing Crunchbang. Although some
| people can find the Openbox Desktop and the grey-black color scheme (the
| window borders are a bit too dark, people may have problems seeing the
| buttons) a bit intimidating, Crunchbang’s main strength is that it does not
| make you watch, but explore.

CrunchBang Linux 8.10.02: A review
,----[ Quote ]
| As I become more knowledgable about Linux, the thought has crossed my mind to
| create my own distribution. However, I’ll readily admit I’m not the most
| technical user, but at least I’m getting to a point where I could give it a
| try. Using Ubuntu as the base would probably be easiest, starting from a
| minimal install, and using my favoruite window manager: Openbox. It wouldn’t
| be a minimalist or leightweight distribution, just one that provided almost
| all of the functionality and none of the bloat.
