Not that we need another distro in the pool. Im guessing that the only difference between Debian and Ubuntu is going to be the installer/kernel/binaries/file locations/etc etc etc...
This has been my main fear about Linux, its just all over the place, there really isn't a common setup. I guess there is LSB, which took me a few minutes to find what the current LSB version is, and what package versions. And you wonder why commercial applications go to Redhat or Suse, and now Ubuntu. I would love to see Linux on every desktop at work, but I know that it will never happen, we are just too fragmented. I think we will just be stuck in the background, which im very ok with. </rant> Xfce is nice, used it for awhile. You now cant call crunchbang ubuntu like. -- Trevor On Sun, Sep 12, 2010 at 10:40 PM, Paul Saenz <[email protected]> wrote: > Personally I don't mind if crunbang ditches ubuntu because I've been using > crunch bang for a little more than a year now, and it means I will be able > to get a little more familiar with how debian works.
