Topic: #! Linux User from Thailand - Impression

Sorry for my poor English, I've not speak English as native tongue. tongue

I've been a Linux user for 2 years, as well been a blogger for the famous Ubuntu Linux Thailand community.
Before I've found #! Linux, I tried many Distro (more than 80 distros and read reviews more than 350) to find the Distro I like most.
But when #! Linux's appeared, I find that THIS IS THE DISTRO I LIKE MOST!

I worte a blog entry to describe how pretty good #! Linux is. (writing in Thai), more than one thounsand views read my blog in a short time.

"#! Linux - The Coolest Ubuntu Light Weight Desktop" (writing in Thai)

I've summarized 5 things that I find in #! Linux
-Simply but good looking.
-Pretty Fast (than other Ubuntu  based distros)
-Well customized. suit for all desktop user needs.
-Good performance although running on the old box.
-Easy for Ubuntu user migration.

................

I want to be a big fan of #! Linux, pls keeping the good job like this.

.................

PS. I prefer pcmanfm (file mananger) to thunar, could you try testing pcmanfm?
- Pcmanfm don't depend on xfce4libs, just purely gtk2 (more light weight)
-Mount media automatically

Thank you again for the great Distro wink

Hey Trendy Teddy --

Welcome to the burgeoning #! community.  Glad, but not surprised that you're so taken with the CrunchBang -- it seems to be catching on like wildfire, thanks in part to the brilliant work by our fearless leader, corenominal.

I'm going to give pcmanfm a shot based on your recommendation.  Personally I prefer the terminal or mc when moving files around, but for those choice occasions on which a GUI seems helpful, it's nice to have the best tool available.

Re: #! Linux User from Thailand - Impression

Since your post I've downloaded and inspected pcmanfm vs. thunar, and it is indeed an interesting alternative.  In particular, the tabbed browsing and apparently smaller memory/cpu footprint seem to fit in with the #! bang-for-the-buck philosophy.  corenominal -- you might want to give this a look see.  I'm going to do some more intensive benchmarking and see what I come up with.

Re: #! Linux User from Thailand - Impression

Hi trendyteddy and welcome to the forums smile

Thank you for the review, your kind words and the feedback. Regarding PCMan File Manager, it is a fantastic application and is indeed a good alternative to Thunar. I first reviewed/tested it about a year ago and while I was impressed, I found it lacking in some features. I am reviewing it again at the moment and it looks like it has come along way. For what it is worth, nothing is set in stone when it comes to the application line-up, so PCManFM could possibly replace Thunar in the near future wink

Thanks again for the feedback, it really is apprecaited! Keep up the good work smile

P.S. There is absolutely nothing wrong with your English, you write beautifully!
