Servus #! forums!

d8a · 2012-05-04 13:47:03

Greetings from Vienna/Austria!

My first encounter with Linux was a Slackware CD some guy at a computer expo in the mid 90's handed out. I didn't have an internet connection back then, thus I didn't have great things like the #! forums filled with precious knowledge. Eventually I somehow managed to install Slackware with a lot of trial and error big_smile ah good times!

So I've been using #! for around a year now, initially I just wanted something lightweight for my girlfriends netbook, but it didn't take long for the #!-virus to spread across all my machines.

The nice Openbox configuration immediately reminded me of the Blackbox/FreeBSD setup a friend of mine used to run. Got me hooked right from the beginning big_smile

So cheers everybody! I'm going to the screenshots section and post my current desktop now smile

Welcome to Crunchbang d8a smile

Ive just seen your desktop in the screenshot thread and i love it.

Is that a second conky your running to display the news?

Thank you!

Yes it's a second conky displaying some RSS feeds.
