Review: Crunchbang Linux 9.04.01
,----[ Quote ]
| I've used Crunchbang Linux ('#!' to its
| friends) for the last several months as the
| secondary Linux distro on my Aspire AS1410.
| It's simple and elegant, although its
| default settings tend towards dark themes --
| if #! had a favorite color, it be black.
| The distro is built on the base provided by
| Ubuntu 9.04, but replaces Gnome with the
| lightweight and flexible Openbox environment
| and a different selection of default
| applications and utilities.
|
| [...]
|
| To sum up, Crunchbang is a fabulous distro
| for an intermediate-or-above Linux user.
| The CLI-phobic should not apply, nor those
| afraid to edit a config file. #! is not my
| main distribution, mainly because I use it
| to play with, discover and experiment. (Not
| Crunchbang's fault, but I've learned the
| hard way over time to keep things I depend
| on having around safely on another
| partition, if not on a completely different
| machine.) It is a good fit for users with a
| good technical abilities or newbies with the
| curiosity (and occasional intestinal
| fortitude) to explore the possibilities it
| offers, and who don't need or want to do
| everything through a GUI. It stands as
| another great example of what a small but
| inspired group can do in the OSS world.

Linux Mint 8 Fluxbox and KDE64 Editions Out Now
,----[ Quote ]
| A few minutes ago, Clement Lefebvre and the
| hard working community behind the Linux Mint
| community announced the immediate
| availability of two new editions for the
| Helena release: Linux Mint 8 Fluxbox and
| Linux Mint 8 KDE64! While the latter
| contains exactly the same amount of new
| features like the Linux Mint 8 KDE Community
| Edition, but compiled especially for 64-bit
| processors, such as Intel Core 2 Quad, Intel
| Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon X2 64, the Fluxbox
| edition is brand-new and it is powered by
| Linux 2.6.31, X.Org 7.4 and Fluxbox 1.1.1.

Why Mint over Ubuntu
,----[ Quote ]
| I've been an Ubuntu fan for some time now.
| No matter which distro I tried, I always
| found it lacked some feature or another and
| I eventually made my way back to Ubuntu.
| Then I found Mint. Linux Mint is a
| derivative of Ubuntu which is a derivative
| of Debian (Debian' = Ubuntu and Ubuntu' =
| Linux Mint). Why use a derivative of Ubuntu
| (or Debian for that matter) instead of just
| using the original product?
|
| Simple: The derivative is better.
