@illumin8 : That's Gerry Anderson's "U.F.O." Not Space 1999.
Not that I'm old enough to have seen either on original showing, but still.
Next I'll be correcting someone quoting from "The Prisoner"

Re: Updated via update-manager - was this wrong? (1 replies, posted in Feedback & Suggestions)
It upgrades your packages, not turns it into the new version.
This is why i'm considering installing the 9.04.01, instead of sticking with my 8.10.02 upgraded to jaunty.

i think you would have to change the name, logo, and get your own site.
With that you would have to make your own repositories, remove all of the artwork, and rewrite quite a few scripts that have the crunchbang name in it.You would also have to remove omns artwork unless you get written permission
not neccesarily have to rewrite any scripts.
Do we remove everything and anything that says "Ubuntu" or "Debian"? No. It's all GPL.

Re: Epiphany and firefox (3 replies, posted in Help & Support (Stable))
I don't know about epiphany, but the main firefox version in the repo is still the 3.0.xx versioning.
Ubuntu have yet to puch the 3.5 version to everyone.
You can, however, install it: sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5
and then, to run, press alt+f2 and type in "firefox-3.5" (no quotes) and hit enter.

That's a fair point that I thought of after posting. IDK, I could always write myself a javascript script to remove it from everywhere but the search page, since that's the functionality I would use, yet it leaves it there for most.

Yah, new forum update.
Quick suggestion: Can we have it only on the search page?
I don't think we really need it on every page. 
Just IMO, of course, YMMV

Since when was anything with a 1ghz processor or better "supremely old"?
Yes, granted, the RAM will limit Linux, but seriously?

I'd have an AMD K6-2 running too, but it needs a new PSU.

Re: CrunchBang Linux on Debian (Squeeze / Sid) ? (63 replies, posted in Feedback & Suggestions)
I've got an installation like that atm, on my test machine.
When I get a few days free, I'm going to look into what corenominal did with remastersys and try to make something similar in Debian, and push out the iso somewhere.
No promises of quality or timescale.

Re: Larger RAM benefit (11 replies, posted in Off Topic / General Chat)
At the lower end, I would certainly agree with that basic summation.
As Philip says, what kind of performance gain you would get is unknown, but I have had a 128MB machine boosted to 192, and it was a LOT more responsive.
Obviously, tasks can only be done as fast as they can be processed, but basically the OS can keep things ready in RAM to use them when you ask for them, rather than all the RAM being used solely for what you are doing right now.

Do we seriously need over 100 linux distros? Wouldnt it make more sense for developers to get together on a few projects (main, lite, eeepc, education etc)? kindof how ubuntu does it except on a much larger scale.
Yes, why do we need to have Crunchbang, when there are already other light distros?
And who needs Ubuntu, when you have Debian already!! Debian can be plenty light!
This is a common misconception: most projects return their ideas to the original base level projects they depend upon.
It's about freedom. Freedom of choice, and freedom to do what you like, make what you like.

Re: Request/Plea for help: download mirrors (74 replies, posted in News & Announcements)
I'll see if I can torrent then find somewhere to mirror the files.
I have a freehost that is known for disappearing for ages at a time, but it has a 15GB cap on files to hold on the server, and no posted b/w limit, so it works pretty well when it IS up. I'll see if I can get to upload a copy of some of the files to it.

It's a real biotch to find out the motherboard details, believe me.
Why are you wanting to upgrade?
Athlon64 3000+ ain't a bad CPU

Re: Socket 754 options??? (6 replies, posted in Off Topic / General Chat)
Just knowing th Socket and what you have currently isn't enough, you need to know the maximum processor that your motherboard can use.
If you can post what IT is, I can see if I can find out the relevant details, then find a better CPU.

Ahh, but continuing releases, keeping up with the parent distro, keeps popularity and yes, while it ain't the most important thing, not by any means, more users means more ideas, and more contribution.

Topic: Krunchbang Koala (5 replies, posted in CrunchBang Talk)
I think we should be very careful this time round.
I realise it was mostly unforeseen circumstances that caused it, and then you had your wedding, corenominal, but I think we should ensure there is an official 9.10.01 release, ideally inside of a week of Karmic's release.
Just, IMHO
