I've registered just to feedback how impressive crunchbang is. I've used Ubuntu for years and I really like it but the hardware requirements are getting too high for some of the hardware I use. I tried xubuntu and lubuntu. They were okay. Then I installed crunchbang on my 9 year old daughter's aging laptop 'knowing' it wouldn't really be suitable for a novice user. I was very wrong. She just uses the keyboard shortcuts with complete ease and the complete lack of clutter is great. It's so fast, using a small proportion of her 500mb of RAM. I'm installing it on my main machine. I'm blown away. Thanks for all the hard work. Great job.

@ wicksey

Welcome to #!, what a great testimony.

aging laptop 'knowing' it wouldn't really be suitable for a novice user.

Surprise, Surprise!! Sometimes 'knowing' something is simply a preconceived idea from (un)educated guesses that blow us out of the water.

Soon she'll be helping you with #! big_smile

I am also blown away with CrunchBang. It truly is amazing. This forum too. That daughter may be adding endless conky lua scripts on here soon....

Indeed! I love them! Though I had trouble configuring a lua to work with conky and was too embarassed to ask. I used to have them set up on previous install.......honest

hahahahahaha If I had $1 for every time I asked mrpeachy "How do I start that in a conky?" I'd have no financial problems for the rest of my like. And if I had to pay $1 for every time I asked - I'd be broke and still wondering how to do it. smile

Don't be shy - ask, we will answer!

And between the tears of laughter I will be remembering how I did the same.
{but I won't tell you that - ever!}

What we have to do now is get wicksey over to the conky thread.
