Like a child in heart

Hello folks.
I am from Sweden with Finnish blood.

I have become more and more a regular user the past 7 years. I am feeling a bit more developerish right now and I said yes to help build a website, haven't done that very much the last 2 years, what did I miss? Before I have been mostly building simple websites in perl/php although my main work is as an testing engineer for wood related things. Anyways...

I began with redhat, went on playing with xandros, suse, mandrake. This was in about 1999 I think. A year later I had a ride with 30+ distros, some a few days, others a few weeks. Then I kinda settled for debian and debian based distros. In about 2004-05 I went on with Macs mostly and debian as my servers.
I used feather linux for some years around 2007, one of the best I have ever used.

And now, funny story, I was bored and found some parts and put this computer together. I needed an OS so I went on the net and searched for "debian based distro with openbox or fluxbox" and as 4th or 5th hit I saw crunchbang, never heard of it and got interested.

A few hours later I was in love, the set of tools as default, the speed, the feel of the OS not being in my way was awesome. Forums are "awesomly great" Everythings feels good :-D

For the past week I have tried some tiling window managers and I feel scrotwm is the one that makes my eyes tear of joy :-D

We'll se what the future has for me as I am considering using #! on more of my computers.
First one after this "test build" is my kinda old powerbook. It's "only" 7 years and actually runs OS X quite well if not in a hurry :-D but #! will make it dance like "Robyn - Dancing on my own"

Anyways, I feel very very happy with this and thank you all.

I could just go debian and install what I want but there is something extra about #! that I like, I think it is the complete package of distro, forums, ideas and joy :-D

Good choice, a bunch of us here are on scrotum. There's a whole thread dedicated to it: http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic … h-scrotwm/ - it's one of the best out there. Feel free to ask anything you want, and welcome to the forums.

Welcome to The Dark Side, iNeedaNickname! Enjoy the cookies, but check the expiration date on the milk; I think that's the glass we left for Santa.

Welcome to #! iNeedaNickname, enjoy the cheesecake and chocolate milk..

Good first post. Welcome to the forums. There's coffee, beer, whiskey, food, recipes, snacks, open boxes, black boxes, window managers [tiling or not] and any number of desktop environments. Also conkys, photos, desktop images, music, musicians, poetry and poets. We've got haiku, tofu and someone's probably written about kung fu but I haven't seen it yet. Did I say welcome? wink

VastOne · 2011-12-29 17:46:41

^ Best ever dubois!

Gonna borrow that one with your blessings....

dubois · 2011-12-29 17:51:37

^ See my comment in the coffee thread this morning -- there's still little flashing lights flying around my peripheral vision. yikes

EDIT -- borrow on!

I did practice some kung fu back in 1994, Jeet Kun Do to be more precise. And there we go, now we have something about kung fu also. :-D
