@pvsage which style you use? smile

I am using iceweasel too as my only web browser. The reasons I prefer it to chromium are the same as most of you have already posted here. It is also important to me that it looks the way I want, something I never achieved with chromium.

How do we get around without navigation bar? smile
PS: Just Alt+D-ing your way around the interwebs?

I quite often have to use my uni's proxy to connect, and Chromium has quite a few issues because in #! there is no gnome or kde-esque network settings manager. Simply because of that, and because there is no good way to set Chromium to open links at the background, I vote Iceweasel smile

What is your problem with it (the touchpad)?

Thank you for the guide - I think it would benefit all if you post it in the Tips and Tricks section as well, but it was my belief that another (possibly final) release of squeeze-based #! would be nice and up-to-date from the get-go smile

I'd bed they would miss the deadline - 4.6 missed Debian Lenny by large, 4.8 was not "stabilised" and packaged on time - what would make you think they will not go with the tried and tested 4.8 version, but with something new and now, with the supposed freeze in a month or so there is no sign of 4.10 in sid. smile

may be we can hope for one of the last squeeze-based #! releases or one could think with waldorf as the main point of emphasis, what we have is what we got? big_smile

Get over it - it still looks quite lovely with compton on smile

@twoion: Nice intro post!

@Božkov: I had never problems with Cyrillic fonts AFAIK with MOC and I did not install explicitly something like Terminus-Cyrillic. I use ncmpcpp with standard Terminus font from the Debian repo and it shows Cyrillic characters and even Greek without a hitch.

@melmoth: Look here how to use thumbnails.

To be honest I had such problems way back in the #! 9.04.01 days and just assumed they were still present now smile Now I tried the package from the repo and yep, it works smile

I'd assume the player is moc and have you been able to make it display cyrillic characters? smile

If you are taking requests for backgrounds, please restore aleaf from the #! Ubuntu version (not as the default obviously, but as an option on the disk). It was nice to have a couple of nature-themed options for hippies like me. smile

I'd love that too smile

It is sufficiently easy to change, if someone dislikes the idea anyway smile On the other hand something I have noticed over the years that when it comes to theming, there is no great backward mobility - work-of-art themes of previous releases (the one from 9.04 and the previous statler one come to mind) are hard to obtain and I always wondered if it would be that bad if they are included in newer releases as part of the additional themes. smile

The clashes after the release of KDE 4.0 and Ubuntu's Unity will dwarf what lies ahead for our humble leader if he decides to change the colour so drastically big_smile

I think it would be cool - call it whatever you like big_smile I mean, I realise it is not the most practical thing to do in the long run, but still for the sake of experimentation. smile

I am not sure if I should ask here or create a new thread - but talking about colourlessness - can I somehow calibrate the screen to complete monochrome?

Interesting enough, I now reside in Scotland and I have actually decreased my whisky abuse. Nevertheless, Glenmorangie is a great treat. smile

I usually don't bother with screensaver application at all - what is the point in it anyway?

I would argue that the biggest difference between #! and PCLinuxOs (as an example of small team distro) is the maintenance of separate repository, because here in Crunchbang we (the  community) and the sole developer can rely on the efforts of the huge Debian infrastructure to produce high-quality and tested packages, whereas in PCLinux, you have a much more isolationist project which since its "split" from Mandriva is doing everything on its own. It must be overwhelming - thus the slower pace of development. But we should note, in the two examples I've used - that packaging a huge project on its own in KDE and a quite more simplified one in openbox is also a factor.

Hope seeing the fancy Unity interface would not make anyone's eyes bleed:

I wouldn't want to point no fingers, but is it possible that the problem is in the grub package version in #!? I did not have such problems when using earlier #! builds, Debian Squeeze or MEPIS (also Squeeze based). As far as I know, it uses a custom version.

I am almost done with making Unity 2d and Ubuntu 12.04 likeable smile Turning metacity composition on, taking advantage of the still available in 2d auto-dodge feature of the launcher and fixing the launcher size to a smaller one via a lovely script I found on the Ubuntu forums and I would say it is working out great!
