Hi crunchbangers,

Im jaybny, second day on #!, trying to make this my first successful linux switch. Been coding c++ since 1994, spend first 5 years on Unix, and been mainly on windows ever since. Spend a couple of years on osx, which gave me carpul tunnel.

trying to figure out a good c++ ide setup, will probably post some questions on the forum.

until next teim.. l8ter

Welcome home, hope you enjoy the stay smile

There are several IDEs around, but imo the best ones aren't FOSS sad (I still have an unhealthy hankering after Visual Studio!)
The code gurus hereabouts seem to prefer cli options though. Eclipse, anjuta are in the repos, and there is IDLE for python, and various other tools. The default text editor geany has a lot going for it as a lightweight "IDE"

cli for debugging? I will also be needing code completion. FOSS is not a priority here. Im happy to start with vi, gcc, cmake... but i dont even have cmake installed. first need to figure out why and what package to install. Id rather install a "development" package then get cmake and others ala-cart.

I started looking at qtcreator, but am not looking to develop GUI stuff.. also what is qmake?

id rather not go looking at debian docs... i know #! is technically just openbox over debian... but it seems to be so much more then that.. almost like a social network evolving based on shared config settings.. if that makes any sense.

openbox and #! is all allot to take in.. my last try was freeBSD with ION , but couldn't deal w the drama. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_(window_manager)

all i want is to be super productive and to never use my mouse. can openbox be used as a tiling window manager? anyone try notion on #!? but i guess its no longer #! once you change the wm?

blah

Yup, so they tell me smile

The cb-welcome script at first start-up gives you the option to install development packages. If you didn't do it at the time you can run it again any time

apropos qmake
qmake(1)   - cross-platform makefile generator for Qt

id rather not go looking at debian docs... i know #! is technically just openbox over debian...

Plus some very clever scripts and configuration that makes it #!

but it seems to be so much more then that.. almost like a social network evolving based on shared config settings.. if that makes any sense.

Absolutely - that is an excellent take on it! I love that analogy! big_smile

But there are loads of folks hereabouts who do just that, and still think of it as crunchbang. You can get some tiling actions using the cb-aerosnap features, or doing some scripting - there have been endless discussions about this wink Check out this excellent thread 30 window managers in 30 days
There is also LinuxBBQ which has an iso where you can try out 50+ WM's!

After some tweaking of your keybinds (rc.xml) you can spend most of your time without taking your hands off the keyboard
