Yeah, I did #!

I installed Crunchbang on the Thinkpad T60.

Went ahead and wiped Ubuntu 12.10 off, and installed Crunchbang 11 "Waldorf".

And it works great.  I have to say, at least as far as the installation, I don't understand why people are so leery of Crunchbang.  Granted, I don't think I'd want to hand it cold to someone who'd never seen Linux before.  But I don't see if it as hard to deal with.  And I'm far from the most experienced computer person in the world.

Granted, I've only been playing with #! (as it's referenced) for a short while.  Live boots on the desktop and on the T60.  But I like it.  I like the minimalist approach it takes.  Minimalist on the surface, at least, but you can feel the power underneath.

I definitely have to acknowledge the help I got from Puppy Linux World on YouTube.  Great videos, lots of information.  Check it out.  (If anyone's interested in Crunchbang, PLW has a whole series up, "Crunchbang Bootcamp", which will help enormously.)

So, another new thing to play with.  I'm not going to know what to do with myself...

I haven't gotten 'round to working with the A31.  I did burn another copy of AntiX, this time making sure it was a CD-R in the drive.  (Deep sigh.  Headshake.)  I'll get to it eventually.

So, off to play in the fields of Crunchbang...
