lol I just installed crunchbang on an old HP that has been kicking around the office and am very new to it, any advice would be appreciated ( I've been using Linux Mint in various versions for about a year now and felt it was time to try something else wink Thanks to all who made these distros possible along with the help from all of the forum members for being there for the newbies big_smile

Welcome to the forums bruceclarke96 smile

Also what kind of advice do you need in particular?

bruceclarke96 · 2011-03-23 22:52:58

just curious as to how much it will really differ from the Mint distros but I'm already learning that it is not much of a new learning curve cool I'm already comfortable with it . big_smile

A lot of your knowledge from Mint will carry over, Mint being based on Ubuntu, which is based on Debian. Mint even has a Debian version now. If you can't figure anything out try the #! forums (obviously smile ). Debian has a good forum and wiki as well.

Thanks for the welcome everyone and I have used LMDE a fair amount ( started using it when it was an RC)so perhaps that is why I'm doing Ok with this smile Just tweaking the puppy the way I want it and finding it a bit different without the software manager like in Mint hmm

Welcome to #! smile

One of the things you'll enjoy (I think, from playing with Mint over the weekend) is that when you type in [sudo apt-get update] or [sudo apt-get dist-upgrade] into the command line, things actually happen. When you hit the Mint Update icon.... um, not always.

Here is the font of all our knowledge; http://crunchbanglinux.org/wiki/ or we just ask anonymous. Either way's good.

I can't help myself. I've been hearing this Monty Python clip running in the back of my head all morning, and I can't fight it anymore, so...

WELCOME BRUCE!

@ merelyjim That is one of my all time favourite skits from Monty Python (along with the cheese one) lol
and Sector 11 I am actually running BOTH! XFCE on my laptop and Openbox on my desktop just to give each a fair try before choosing which one I like better. cool Not bad for a 52 year old that until 2007 couldn't even figure out how to turn a damn computer on lol lol lol
