#! - How do you read that? It's Crunchbang. It's the symbol of one of the most beautiful Openbox-based distro's i've seen.
It's praises are all over internet, but let me point out some of the best things about this Distro (Personal taste and requirements):
And many other things - All considered, i found this to be a wonderful distro to use.
I was trying this on my new Lenovo ThinkPad x120e, and it's configuration is :
AMD E350 Processor (1.60Ghz Dual core)
4GB 1333 DDR3 RAM (2x2GB)
320GB Hard disk
11.6 inch monitor
6 cell battery.
As assured, i'm getting over 5 hours battery life which is a lot given the 18.5W processor that's a power hogger as compared to the Atom processors (2.5~8.5) (They don't have 80 Shaders in them :D).
It runs with no more than ~600MB of ram and usually a 40% CPU load when i'm browsing+downloading+listening to music.
Not bad.
After installing fglrx-driver, It seems to be much better, I'll tell more about it once i experience it a little more. Right now, i'm just excited that compositing is a lot better with the fglrx driver.
It's praises are all over internet, but let me point out some of the best things about this Distro (Personal taste and requirements):
- It has all the default partitioning options of Debian - very very good if you are installing on a machine as the only Operating System.
- It has a wonderfully useful script that runs on the first run - called cb-welcome. It does a lot of jobs without giving you the headache.
- It has conky, tint2, nitrogen and many other apps preconfigured - Keeps you from doing the mechanical work again, and keeps you from the frustration that a barebones Openbox can give you.
- Decent set of packages, and for those missing and important, there are installation scripts embedded in the menu itself.
- Has all the audio and video codecs in it by default. That's the best part.
- A very active and useful community.
