Have faith in the forums - the truth is out there! 

Flicck - haven't taken it as a snarky reply.  I too am a master in google-fu; it is how I came up with the apps in that list.  There is a very eclectic mix of people using this forum so the chances are that someone will have first-hand experience or an opinion regarding pretty much any subject you care to mention.  I just thought I would throw this out there and see what came back. 

Thanks though,

Rob

If there has been a game recently that is likely to shorten the life of my computer hardware this is surely it.  Great game but I have had to take several deep breaths before recreating the 'Bop It' advert with my laptop and the nearest window.

The masochist in me will definately purchase this.

Purchased an eee 701 yesterday for £80 and already have cruncheee on it.  Thrilled to bits - everything works!

Any recommendations for SDHC cards to expand the storage?

Small point, I will mainly use this for reading electronic copies of books and such.  I seem to remember someone commenting on a reading app that would support screen rotation and so allow you to read in the manner you would a normal book.  Does anyone have any ideas?  I can't find the post anywhere but I am still looking.

Fully crunchbanged up now!

Well after all the input here and surfing some web reviews I am leaning toward an Aspire One.  The main element of this has come down to price; it seems to be substantially cheaper than most of its competitors.

I will post more after purchase!

Rob

I would like one if they are still available.

I have just crawled from my sick bed after a week and am still blinking in the harsh light of day.  A new soundtrack to my day would be most welcome.

I agree that overall the review was positive I just felt that the negative points bordered on petty.

Hey, at the end of the day, it is just my opinion rather like the reviewer had his.

Rob

No, it is the KDE issue on sale 5 Feb.

  I thought the review was a little unfavourable.  It acknowledges the aspiration of a 'speedy minimalist distro' but then mentions annoyances like the appearance of Ubuntu in the grub menu rather than Crunchbang and the greyscale desktop colouring rather than the caramel (brown) of Ubuntu.  Rather than picking on such relatively minor points I would have been happier if they had praised the amount of work that Philip had gone through to make this what it is.  It is clearly a labour of love for an individual rather than a product of a dedicated team of hackers and should at least, I feel, been seen as a pretty huge achievement.  Who knows where it could go?  Just look at what Clem acheived with Linux Mint. 

  Crunchbang may not be perfect but it is more than good enough for anything I am likely to do in the near future.  Regardless of the review it will remain my distro of choice for sometime to come.

(Climbs down from soapbox)

First experience of Linux was Knoppix toward the end of 2005.  My first installation was Slackware which, surprisingly, went well!  Spent time skipping around Mint, the 'buntus, Sabayon and Fedora on my desktop.  Tried most things on my laptop before deciding on Crunchbang.

Good post. Thanks.

Whilst I am sure that we can all work it out anyway I would like to add the following:

1.  the first command should be    sudo apt-get update

2. Java should already be installed.

3.  the link takes you to the Risk clone 'Domination'.  You would need to replace all references to 'Risk' with 'Domination'.
