[Discuss] Anyone tried CrunchBang?

[John Blomfield]

Just did, having nothing better to do at the moment except boring chores!

Looks like a work in progress. Now I have lots of RAM I stuck it on 
VirtualBox. The live version is pretty useless so I installed it on VBox 
which went very quickly with a useful first install set up guide script. 
Functionally it is definitely a work in progress. Has a weird black grey 
desktop theme with not a lot of choices for wallpaper etc although the 
window themes are comprehensive. Probably takes a bit a poking around to 
find a colour scheme that would suit me.

OpenBox is referred to as a Windows Manager and sometimes as a Desktop, 
so I suppose its a Desktop with its own Window Manager? Either way it's 
definitely minimalist. I guess its all a matter of opinion as usual but 
its too primitive for me at present but perhaps that's its objective.
