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...
