My feedback : Crunchbang Statler - for dummies ^^

Hi brothers and sisters

I just want to give my feedback about our wonderful distro, I'm pretty sure that it won't interest a lot of people but I want to share my love (hey, I'm speaking like an hippy !).

It's almost for non-crunchbangers but who are interested into this distro.

But before all, please forgive me if reading me is difficult, I'm french, I have a quite good school english, but I know that my english is not truely very good for daily speaking. So don't beat me to the death x)

PART I - The Child

I am quite a noob yet with GNU/Linux.

I've tried during those last 4years to use Ubuntu, Debian, Mandriva, Suse, and Fedora. I'm not an expert but I've always wanted to learn a maximum about Linux, and months after months my hate against Windows was growing incredibly.

I've really step into Linux last year, with Ubuntu 9.04 - 9.10 and this year with 10.04, and a bit with Debian Lenny on a old computer.

I won't discredit Ubuntu, it's the main distro for beginners I think, it's the base.

But Canonical' politic and Ubuntu' design are disgusting me, I don't know if you know what I mean.

And Crunchbang was like a charming busty Milf in very short skirt and high heels crossing legs front of me again and again (are you excited too now?) - I was hypnotized and very tempted !! (I've customed my Lucid Lynx to looks like Crunchbang in July, see my DA !)

I've tried before #! v9 but I had some screen problems so I've gave up for a moment.

And I've definitely joined you about a month ago, with Statler Alpha2.

PART II - The Teenager

I was quite disturbed at the beginning.

After all, I was now on Debian with a lot of mods, and configuring a customised distro like that in an other language with being a beginner is not easy.

But after several researches and help from you and other people, I have to say that I can configuring easily my Crunchbang.

I'm not a Jedi Master yet ^^ but I learn everyday (sometimes I crash my system) and it's a huge pleasure, believe me !!

PART III - The Adult

I can't write this part right now, because I'm not adult yet in Crunchbang world.

But I'll be an adult one day with the help of my family, I mean you, Crunchbangers.

To conclude : Windows users, Mac users, user-friendly Linux distros users, don't be afraid !! Come here, have a try, and fall in love like I did !!

The beginnings could be a bit difficult, but Crunchbang is a pleasure to learn, and this community is the best that I've ever seen.

So, if Richard Stallman agree, I will finish my topic by singing :

"Join us now and fall in love, you'll be glad dreamers, you'll be glad..."

PS : thanks to the community, to the contributors of GNU/Linux since the beginnings, and thanks to Philip, a.k.a. Corenominal.
PS 2 : I'm not high.
PS 3 : no no, I'm not paid to write topics like this x)
