Hey everyone!
I'm weirdvector from Canada. I'm going to be making the switch from Windows to GNU/Linux full time once I get through my exams (mid-December hopefully.) I've used ubuntu and mint before but have run into problems and then reverted back. I've been using #! in a virtual machine and I'm impressed with how slick it is.
I'm a software development student, so I'll probably be throwing Eclipse on there. I'm also working on learning vim, but I don't know whether or not I'll be comfortable using that for writing code. I also love gaming, so hopefully I'll be able to get steam running on it as well. I know Gaben plans to make GNU/Linux the new platform for games, so I want to be comfortable using it.
I've heard the community is one of the best things about using GNU/Linux, and that's supposed to be especially true for #!, so I'm looking forward to meeting you (and then pestering you with noob questions )

Hey weirdvector. Welcome aboard.
Community? Yup, that's one of the better things about CrunchBang. Some people move on to other distros and still stay here on the #! forums because it feels like home. I hope you enjoy your time here as so many others have.

Time to move on!#

Ok, first question. I'm floored by the way you guys have gotten your desktops to look, and I've started trying to emulate it. A big thing in these forums and /r/unixporn is setting the colors of the text in the terminal. I see a lot of people have cool scripts made up to print out their colors, and their screenfetch (I think that's what it's called.) I can't for the life of me figure this out. I don't even know what the first step would be. Can anyone point me towards a decent tutorial?

Just so you know, (since I had this problem) if you try to open Eclipse and it crashes, you need to open up eclipse.ini in the root folder of eclipse and add the lines
--launcher.GTK_version
2
right before the line that says
--launcher.appendVmargs

Thanks Head_on_a_stick, that was exactly what I was looking for.
