Interesting VSIDO Topic on #!

Thank you hinto for your review... 

[Sector11]

Yea, I just added my 2¢ worth - well, more like a nickle.

^ Well more like .50 cents but well said none the less.

Thank you Sector11... Well said! 

I would like to make a slight correction to the premise that VSIDO is spawned from CrunchBang. I am and have always been a Debian user first and everything that runs under that flagship is where the spawn really comes from, including CrunchBang and Ubuntu and now VSIDO. In other words, without Debian I do not believe any of us would be sitting here

I guess you could say that the genesis of VSIDO did start out of anger that Philip dropped Xfce support.  Although I completely understand why he did it, I felt that the Xfce community was losing it's very best distro that used it

Whatever led us down these roads is a good thing, and I happen to agree with what lowrider said over on that thread... The level of creativity that originated on CrunchBang is incredible.

One other thing I want to share. Philip has been nothing short of incredible supporting VSIDO with encouragement, assistance and of course some very cool scripts that he generously allows for use.  I am very grateful for these and even more for his friendship

OK, so what's 45¢ between friends. 

Thank you VastOne.  Guess that means I'm forgiven.

OK, I missed the mark about VSIDO being spawned from #! ... but not by a lot.

You certainly did fill in the gap nicely with what you felt the Xfce community lost.

Also nice to hear that you have the help and support of Philip - and his cool scripts.  He and Becky are good people no doubt about it.  Just makes #! a little more special doesn't it.

Anyway, I'm off to bed ... Night all...

I read the topic on #!, and it was really interesting. As a newbie in #! I didn`t really know the story behind #!, nor Vastone`s background, and it made me even more interested in VSIDO. Downloading the ISO now. Wil not mess it up with Gnome3 as I initially intended. I think I`ll keep #! with a well configured and working openbox-session, and my own awesome Gnome 3 Session. In VSIDO I intend to do something different. Not sure what yet, but that`s whats exiting... I probably will use xfce, tint2 and openbox together, as I suppose it is now, but try to put my own twist in there somehow:)

Anyway, I`m looking forward to start vsidoing a little. It better be good , because I intend to replace Ubuntu with it, on my main laptop with ssd, and there`s only two spots in total... 120 GB split on two distros. It will be interesting tonight, because it`s an uefi install, and Ubuntu acts as the master-grub now, so VSIDO must take Ubuntu`s place in EFI, and detect Crunchbang and add an entry for it in EFI. I guess there is a lot that can go wrong, but in worst case, I just have to start from scratch. First install VSIDO, then Crunchbang.

@ew ... I really am looking forward to your adventures in replacing Ubu with VSIDO and even envy you!

Have fun and keep us informed of these adventures.

If there is anything you need or any changes you want to recommend, do not hesitate to let me know

Cheers!
