Found myself a couple of hours off "life". Burned the 64 iso to a dvd-rw, live it kicked in beautifully as usual, but when installing Grub did not want to install and the apt configuration did not work. So instead of wasting time with reburning etc I dded
the iso to usb and everything went smooth this time. Waldorf looks great, the return of Johns pipe menus is greatly appreciated. Also a plus for the return of Iceweasel, ok with mplayer for now, all in all great stuff as always Philip, thank you.
Time to move on!#

I downloaded #!Wheezy via x64 Torrent. (23 seeders)
Saved to 4 Gb USB via 'dd' terminal method ... both the Netbook and the new laptop recognized the USB-drive but said there was "No Operating System Detected"
Burned to a 2nd 4 Gb USB flash drive using USB Creator (from Mint-13 Xfce) - same result.
Guess, I'll try 'burning' it to a DVD disk next?

^ I know you said it was via torrent, but did you check the md5sum just to be sure? You dd'd it to the device, not the partition and sync'd and/or unmounted/restarted?

Phil, thank you, excellent. :):)
I put the .iso onto my USB with the following command:
sudo dd if=/MYLOCATION/crunchbang-11-20120806-i686.iso of=/dev/sd... bs=4M;sync
I installed Waldorf via USB-stick to a Lenovo S10-3. Anything works ootb. Additionally I installed Dropbox, Libreoffice and icedove iceowl-extension enigmail iceweasel radiotray zim pidgin gpodder audacious gmusicbrowser gdebi cheese nautilus-image-manipulator unetbootin pwgen grsync filezilla virtualbox gnome-system-monitor gnome-system-tools.
Keep on with your work, that might be much more rewarding than beeing an "employee".
Cheers, Peter from Germany
PS: I enjoy Wadorf's comments a lot!

I did get the new #!Waldorf to work via a "new" 4Gb USB flash-drive. Installed to my AAO 10" Netbook - so far.
UPDATE: I even installed #!Waldorf 20120806 on my new Thinkpad X1. OOTB

I finally did a new install of the new version. I've been using it for some days. It works and looks great. Seems more polished that the previous Waldorf. Little things: I really appreciate using the dynamic search with synaptic over the previous static search box. Also once I got the hang of it, ARandR is a nice improvement over GRandR imho. Still had to disable compositing as it played havoc with conky/main right click menu/thunar windows. I'm giving mplayer a fair shake though I will probably add vlc soon.
I think I'm finding enjoyment from doing a new install periodically just for the fun and risk of causing a problem and the clean, squeaky feel of a new setup. Could this develop into OCD, where I have to do a clean install everyday?!

^ Fair enough. You want to live on the edge

I started with Crunchbang 10 Statler and love it. That one is based on Debian stable. I tried the release after that (the earlier Waldorf) in a virtualbox and had issues. I still have my Statler and absolutely love it! Is the new Waldorf still based on Wheezy?

Debian does not do rolling releases. If you check that link I gave you, you will see the older "stable" releases are no longer supported. I don't know how long the "old" stable releases are supported after there is a "new" stable. Eventually you will need to use Wheezy, but you can wait.

• "For the first time, the CrunchBang builds exceed the 700MiB CD limit. I feel that this is unfortunate, but reaching and exceeding the limit was possibly inevitable. If this something that you would like to comment on, please refer to the existing forum thread: Is it time to drop the 700MiB CD Limit?"
I still use CD-RWs
• "News from the Bike Shed Painting Committee: following an interesting forum debate, Iceweasel makes a return as the default browser, replacing Chromium."
Hmm, normally I would agree that Iceweasel/Firefox is best as the default browser, but after seeing the recent nightlies, I'm not sure what to think anymore. I'm currently running Iceweasel 16.0a2 from the Debian Mozilla team APT repository and it has issues with HTML5. I can't even manage my Mediafire files Downloads are now managed through your "Library," the same place your bookmarks and history are managed, which really doesn't "feel" right with the GUI design (may change before final release). Anyway, these are just my opinions and experiences, YMMV.
• "As requested, ClipIt has replaced Parcellite as the default clipboard manager."
The only thing I found that I liked about ClipIt over Parcellite is that it uses your icon themes icon if available.
Things I dislike about Clipit:
1) Doesn't allow me to clear history from the icon context menu.
I have to open "Manage History" and select "Remove All" which I find to be quite vexing when I just want to clear my clipboard to make room for a series of copies so that they are easier to keep track of.
2) Doesn't have the trim white space option.
3) Doesn't correctly copy/paste sometimes.
I'll copy something, go to paste it and it doesn't paste or it pastes weird symbols. (it's in the clipboard/history)
These are just my opinions and experiences. I see nothing wrong with your choices and I'm quite happy with the changes. It's too bad though, I won't be able to try it out for a while. 1. I don't have a free USB to put #! on. 2. I'm busy preparing/setting up my first semester of college and classes start on the 27th
Thanks for all the hard work you put into #!
