Debian + FLUXBOX = my Crunchbang replacement!

[hudson]

Hello all! I met Ozitraveller on Crunchbang and saw him posting here so I thought I would sign up. I just downloaded his Star Linux to checkout: https://sourceforge.net/projects/linnix/files/ I have Fluxbox installed on my Debian box, but I'm always on the lookout for something to borrow. In fact, I just downloaded Mint, Xubuntu, OpenSUSE, Chromixium, FreeBSD and DragonFly. Pretty much, I think my Debian is better than all the Linux distros, but I do like FreeBSD.

Anyway, just wanted to say hello. You guys have a mean registration signup...it took me a few tries (birds of prey do fly)...Oh, also I posted links to two HOWTOs I wrote elsewhere http://vsido.org/index.php?topic=1040.0 but I think they are too complicated or something, since no one ever comments on them.

Glad to see you here hudson, thank you for this introduction

thanks ozitraveller and VastOne...I heard about vsido a few weeks ago. Personally, I really like what Fluxbox has to offer over OpenBox...really great man pages and good customization options. BTW, I just realized if I tweak the following two settings Fluxbox acts more zippy:

session.screen0.menuMode: Click
session.autoRaiseDelay: 0

not sure why they put the longer delay in the default init file. I better read up on Vsido and check out the DVD now that I'm here

Interesting tip. Thank you!

one of those things that takes you a couple of months to figure out...then you are like "oh damn!"

Nice to have you here hudson.  Hope you stick around and write a bunch more 'How To' posts!
