CrunchBang Linux

In the beginning there were 2 "desktop" sessions, Openbox and Xfce. The Openbox session has no desktop per se, only helpers; Tint2 and menu. How long would you keep on looking at "the desktop" while working or playing? It is the app you are interested on, and "the desktop" stays underneath. You can call the menu from the Tint2 panel or from a hotcorner. The "original" menu was there to help you to install some apps, and after that you can change it to your liking.

After posting this screeny, http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic. … 42#p440242 I kept on thinking about why #! was always spartan in looks. I am glad that I made the Jessie install look like Waldorf. All the #! scripts, redone to suit Systemd, are activated and working in it and gets dist-upgraded time to time. It is going to stay in that partition in the vanilla state. One day, a live iso would be created from it.

There are still some sites, where you can download #! Waldorf, but you might not want it as the kernel is 3.2. You can, of course, upgrade it to the present Wheezy state within an hour. You'd have to delete the Crunchbang repos from your sources.list. You can also upgrade it to Jessie after, bit tricky, but can be done.

The Stretch install is the working one and has moved beyond #! Waldorf look, but kept the simple 145x145 pixels tile for the "wallpaper." I have also 2 more installs, Arch & Ubuntu 15.10 with the same looks. Sometimes I'd add a wallpaper, just for fun, but would go back to the tile. All this happened because of the original Crunchbang. Thanks again!

My mistake, sorry!
Thank you Philip for #!!

I notice that the packages.crunchbang.org and crunchbang downloads are no more, pointing to an end of an era.

I have two #! installs pointing to Jessie and Stretch. I had to change only one script, the logout. I don't have the need for other scripts, except cb-include, but I still keep all of them in /usr/bin for the memory. Later, I placed logout into the menu itself.

The #! Jessie install looks just like Waldorf, wallpaper, menu, conky etc, and it is going to stay there that way. Its been dist-upgraded from time to time. http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic. … 42#p440242

Thank you Philip for #!

Very nice!
Can't find Arc theme on Openbox. Would you be creating one?
You are using Nautilus. How do you find working without the menu?

I asked the question from HoaS, and he replied. HoaS is quite active in Arch forums, and his reply is enough for me.[/Off topic]

Beng,
Is this Waldorf install been updated, upgraded up to now?

You are sort of advertising Arch Linux in your screeny.
Is Arch Linux better than Debian?

This is Ubuntu 15.10 with the #! look. To get the look, no BL script was used. Dist-upgraded few minutes ago.

@ damo. I didn't think you'd go that far...

No, I don't. And, don't correct the problem, that is, if there is a problem. Let's play with conkys.

@ Sector11. I know you love conkys, so let it be. 

Wouldn't Htop show you all that?

Ostrolk is my city, Ostrołęka, but you wouldn't pronounce it. Have a look, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostro%C5%82%C4%99ka

Joke or not, not much new members are coming in now.

I suppose, if the old members would join the new BL forum, and the new guys would join in, questions would be asked, answers given and with luck the new BL forum would grow. Crunchbang had been abandoned and there might be very few users of the old crunchbang. BL is new and different, so it should go on its way. BL would also change its look and evolve into a separate distro.

^ Well, I think I'd wait to suggest anything else, until the new forums come up.
