Hi, long time reader, first time writer.
I've been using Linux since around the turn of the century. Held out for as long as I could as an Amiga user but the poor support in the mid-late 90s pushed me eventually to MS Windows. Never gelled with Win95-98 and despite XP being more stable it never felt like the distro for me. Nothing came of the promise of BeOS, but some friends had taken to using Linux and it came recommended as an OS for those like to tinker. Started off using Mandrake as it as considered a distro for new users back in the day. Dual booted it with WinXP for a few years before deciding to build a DIY Debian box to learn more about the OS. Found Debian to be much more intuitive and eventually made the move around 2003 to running Debian as my main OS. Eventually skipped to Ubuntu a few years back when I got a new PC due to not having time to maintain a Debian install and Ubuntu mostly worked "out of the box".
I installed Crunchbang on a netbook I was tinkering with about a year ago. It had been recommended by a friend as a good distro for low performance devices like netbooks. I liked it but as the netbook wasn't mine I didn't do much with it. I've been distro-hopping a bit recently since Ubuntu and me fell out and found that while Mint was nice it was proving a bit heavy for the aging laptop I use on a day to day basis. Had considered going back to a basic Debian netinstall when I remember Crunchbang. Loving being back on it even though it's only been a week or so.
Hopefully this will be the end of my distro-hopping for a while. Those repeated re-installs are a pain.

If you plan on staying a really long time, you can always switch the Debian repo's from stable to testing... and lots of us use more than one distro, too.
