I've been running #! updated to Sid for quite a while and no issues at the moment so far. Just watch the sid upgraders thread for any warnings and issues others have encountered

Re: openbox fails to start after changing hostname (2 replies, posted in Help & Support (Stable))
Underscores and hyphens are also a problem in Windows hostnames too, so its not a good idea to include any special characters in the new hostname on your #! install.

Downloaded the same iso, but from another mirror (nb: no md5sum anywhere to find) and dd it to a USB stick. This time it worked correctly.
Semplice is CPU greedy! Display too big for the computer's screen.I must have been spoiled using Crunchbang for such long a time, because I was not really impressed by Semplice (but I reckon having a distro in Italian must be very interesting for Italian users).
The conky in Semplice is a little large though but the font size can be changed to make it smaller. Might suggest to g7 (the dev) to make it a smaller font but users can change the conky layout to suit them

I've just tried it on my 1001PX and it's quite nice!
I simply dd'ed the Semplice 2.0 alpha image to my stick and it boots fine on my desktop and my trusty old IBM Thinkpad T42
The purple theme is pleasing to the eyes and it matches their forum's colors too

AntiX has been around before #! and i'd daresay its close to being the pioneer of minimalist debian distros 
Semplice looks quite promising and what makes it special is that it's Italian

I love Xfce and that's why I came to #! I have never used Openbox.
I think #! is the slickest of all Xfce Debian derivatives. As omns said somewhere in the forums, it is probably so as you don't install the xfce4-goodies meta-package but just the goodies/plugins you need. And for sure as you don't install too many of the gnome libs and progs. For this reason I like #! Xfce better than Linux Mint Xfce which remains 'mainstream' oriented as Clem puts it.
I run #! 'pure testing' on one of my machines, I am impatient to see Xfce 4.8 come out in the testing repos
.
If you are feeling adventurous, why not upgrade your #! box to Sid? I have and it's pretty good..no issues noted

Well without trying to start a flamewar but let me put it on record once again that IMHO corenominal and his chosen Lieutenants(mods

I have hardly seen a Forum, especially in the Linux community which is as "open minded" and "tolerant" as this one.
One of the reasons why this is really the only Linux Forum I regularly post on.
Have to concur, as from my browsing the forum it's indeed quite a well behaved community here and I appreciated not to ever get talked down to by anyone.

Almost made me want to leave Debian . . .
Where would you flee to? Arch or Archbang? Sadly there are trolls on the Debian forums and I'm a member too but rarely posted there.
I use Aptosid on another system and their forums can be rude at times as well

A WM written in Python? Now how can that be, as it sounds like it'll run rather slow due to the interpretation overhead
Sounds amazing though.
