Thanks VastOne.  I appreciate the friendliness here.  You and the nice folks at crunchbang have helped me quite a bit in my linux journey.

I do have one question...  I tried to download the latest .iso and I'm not getting the version with Kernel 3.10-5.  Am I doing something wrong?  I do realize I can upgrade the Kernel with smxi, but I'm wondering if I'm missing out on something with the new .iso, like art work, which is fantastic IMHO,  in my 3.10-1 version.

Hello everyone!

I've been lurking for a few weeks now and I'm very impressed with the distro and the forum.  I kind of dropped a bit from the linux scene and have been using some of the popular distros, but got bored pretty quickly and was looking for a challenge.  I'm using the Vsido version with Kernel 3.10-1-amd64 set to XFCE and like it very much.  I hope to learn a lot and hope that I won't be a PIA. 

Thanks!

Dave
