Comments on: Distro Review: Crunchbang 9.04.01 http://danlynch.org/blog/2009/08/crunchbang/ Linux News, Reviews, Tips and Rambling :) Thu, 11 Mar 2010 12:03:09 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Dan http://danlynch.org/blog/2009/08/crunchbang/comment-page-1/#comment-2750 Dan Wed, 28 Oct 2009 12:58:05 +0000 http://danlynch.org/blog/?p=1163#comment-2750 @acidtoy - Thanks, I'm really glad you enjoyed the article. I'm writing about Ubuntu Karmic as we speak. That should be out very soon, both the review and the actual distro release. I've reviewed Sabayon a couple of times in the past, have a look through the archives. The last version I looked at was 4.0 I think, it was a few months ago. I've never quite made it onto Gentoo yet, but I keep telling myself I will one day. I like Mint a lot and recommend it to new users all the time. Glad you're enjoying Linux and best of luck in the future :) @acidtoy – Thanks, I’m really glad you enjoyed the article. I’m writing about Ubuntu Karmic as we speak.

I will download Crunchbang tomorrow to play a little with it since there's one (f*****g!!) day more until Karmic Koala release, lol What you say about a review of Gentoo/Sabayon, may be both at same time? I'm currently using Linux Mint 7 -superb Ubuntu 9.04 derivative- and allways wanted to try Gentoo but I'm not experienced like you in Linux. I know Apt is king among packet managers and personally like Debian a lot, but I'm really interested in your thoughs and opinions about Gentoo, it's day to day usability and how hard it can be to learn about it for a bit-more-than-a-n00b in linux. To me, Ubuntu and specially Mint are best option if you want to emulate (and exceed) Windows or Mac usability, but I wonder if Gentoo can be the same or just a system to übergeeks and linux hobbyst alike. Best! Martín ARGENTINA Nice review!

To cut the long story short I'm downloading #! as we speak and going to slap it on my laptop as main OS. I always enjoyed the way Ubuntu handled most of the things from the install but was never happy with gnome, nor be bothered with completely removing all it's dependencies. So once again thank you and keep up the good work. Hello,

I've been using #!8.10 for a while now and love it (except that I can't watch Netflix)! I'm a total Linux novice, so I stuck with #! because it works right away without me having to figure out how to get onto the interweb. By right clicking on the menu bar and editing the preferences you can put on a menu button. I learned a lot from your article, thanks Dan! Cheers, Rick Hey, I really enjoyed this article!

If you honestly think that, you don't know Dan at all. And you better not read my blog... LOL. @Dan: If people give you a hard time with grammar or spelling, get their blog address and send them to me. I can play linguistic hardball with the best of 'em. ;) Wow, I must say I am quite astonished to see people accuse Dan of being easily offended or jumping to conclusions.
