Re: The R-project. Recommended App (6 replies, posted in Devel: CrunchBang 10 "Statler")
I have used SPSS, Stata and R on the university. R have no GUI, but it have the best language of them all and I almost never used the GUI tools in SPSS and Stata.
It is also amazing how you can integrate R code into LaTeX code to generate reports with neat graphs and tables from your data. (google sweave)

Is there an easy way to customize Xfce's right-click applications menu?
I'm not a fan of how it sorts all the installed apps (not to mention it's total lack of aesthetic sensibility) >_>
Have you tried Alacarte, the Gnome menu editor? I don't use it, but I think both XFCE and Gnome use the same freedesktop menu standards (aka *.desktop files).

Edit: I also personally like the Debian stance on not distributing any non-free software on their distro.
nope, debian is not in stallman whitelist.
Debian's Social Contract does say that all software in the main distribution will be free software. Unfortunately, that's not always true in practice. Debian has repeatedly made tacit or explicit exceptions for specific pieces of nonfree software, such as the blobs included in or accompanying Linux. We're still hopeful that there won't be such exceptions in the future, but we can't turn a blind eye to the situation as it stands today.
Debian also provides a repository of nonfree software. According to the project, this software is “not part of the Debian system.” We understand that's important for organizational reasons, but users would be hard-pressed to make a distinction. The nonfree repositories are often featured as prominently as the main ones throughout Debian's web site, documentation, and other materials.

There most likely is easier way to do it, but this works too.
You need to modify the gtkrc file of the theme you use (usually either ~/.themes/themefolder/gtk-2.0/gtkrc or /usr/share/themes/themefolder/gtk-2.0/gtkrc)
gtkrc file has line like this so, if the number is something else than 0 change it to zero and then menus should be iconless. (if there is no such line add it top of the file)
gtk-menu-images = 0That was my complicated way.
or just add that line to ~/.gtkrc-2.0.mine, so it will not show any icon when you change themes

May I ask how did you install firefox? I just download it from mozilla's site on /opt and create a link on /bin. I don't have any problem and works just fine but if there is another way I would like to know about...
Also I noticed the difference in start-up time between 9.04 and 10 too...
I have not tested, but I think the Ubuntuzilla repository works on Debian. It just have the .tgz from mozilla in a .deb format. x86 only.

Because Ubuntu repositores (which are the base for Crunchbang) are freezed on release, which means all the software have the version from 2009 april (9.04). Only security fixes are backported.
EDIT: To install the last Firefox, I suggest to use Ubuntuzilla (if you are on x86):

Topic: Suggestion: use debian alternatives system (6 replies, posted in Devel: CrunchBang 10 "Statler")
In Crunchbang 9.04 some apps references are "hardcoded" in the menu like firefox in the help pipemenu, terminator in the "terminal apps" menu. They should be replaced for x-www-browser and x-terminal-emulator.
Gedit is also hardcoded on the "Edit $APP config file" items, but there's no alternative for a gui editor. There's the "editor" alternative, but it is supposed to be used on cli. (Someone please correct me if I'm wrong)
This will make it easier for people to change the default apps to their preferred ones, instead of editing everything on the menu.
Some reference: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianAlternatives

Why your desktops have different heights? Or they are different monitors? My script is to take screenshots of the virtual desktops or workspaces, not monitors.
