I really wanted 9.10, and when #! 9.10, SqueezeBang, and others didnt work, I settled for vanilla ubuntu 9.10...and now...I am back to #! 9.04. Nothing seems to fit the niche quite right except for #!, even if I am not bleeding edge. I think a #! addiction replaced my distro-hopping addiction. Thanks for the cure Phillip! 
LOL, I am not sure you should be thanking me, but you are welcome.
I agree 9.10 just didnt cut it for me in any form. i ended up coming back to good old #! nothing seems to beat it. But a nice Debian custom setup is pretty close.
Bleeding edge? 
There's a reason the Debian project named Sid after the boy next door who breaks toys. I'd rather have a system that's "obsolete" and reliable.
Does this make me a Luddite? 
hmmmm....
I've always wondered why Sid in "Toy Story" was such a bad kid.
When I was little I loved nothing more than tearing apart my toys to see how they worked. Okay, most of my toys were Lego, and made to be taken apart, but still.....
Since I got my Arduino, one of my favorite pastimes is searching for semi-broken electronic toys to use in my hobby-projects.
Even my preference for linux over windows is because it's easier to look 'under the hood'.
On the other hand, I don't use bleeding edge stuff because I want my computer to work....
So I guess no, pvsage, you're not a luddite.
Maybe luddite-ish
When I was a little kid, I went over to a friend's house... I thought he was the coolest kid when I saw that he had EVERY lego set! All the spaceships and castles and firetrucks. So I ran over and tried to "play" with them the way I played with my legos at home...
No luck 
His father had assembled them all for him and super-glued the pieces together!
That was the day I decided to use CrunchBang when I grew up.

Seriously though, who does that!?
just like in microserfs by douglas copeland, one of my friends mother washed his legos regularly.
Very weird, the faint smell of detergent on the legos just made them.... yuck.
I used to have a few legobricks glued together in a way they weren't supposed to be, just to make building of strange things easier.
Had a few with holes drilled in them, too.
Superglueing your child's lego pieces together?? That's the most shocking thing I've heard today. I wonder how that kid turned out when he grew up, having missed out on the creativity of building whatever he wanted with his lego
addiction?? YES!!!
i can't play with a distro or a wm without crunch'it : http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic … runcharch/ , http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic … ux-system/ ...
addiction.. unfortunately I installed a program named "kobodl" yesterday. DO NOT INSTALL NOR LOOK AT IT. bad bad bad.
washing legos is just too weird. I inherited mine from my cousin, and me and my brother played with them. no ill sideffects so far. proper 70s legos fully compatible with 80s pieces.. do that with computer hardware.
as to crunchbang: I don't give a shhhh about UB 9.10, because I love my #! as it is. no side-effects so far. (except spending too much time on this friendly forum)

@ gluing legos:
Serious: maybe worried about choking hazard
Not so serious: maybe father was too proud of his own accomplishment to see it destoryed

Probably a "happy" Windows user, or come to think of it, probably even more likely a Mac user...
"- It's supposed to be this way, it can't be any other way, because this is how the original creator intended it to be! - But what if I want to build a really cool house from the pieces of this spaceship, it should be possible.. - No, it's a spaceship, see? It can NOT be anything else!" Gosh you're crazy, are you on some sort of medication?!?!"
