Crunchbang Linux

I've found my years using Linux veering heavily in favour of the Debian family. At different times I've run Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, AntiX and now find my laptop and netbook feels "at home" with Crunchbang. Linux has no vendor lockin, so the temptation to try something new is ever present. So why have I zeroed in on Crunchbang?

Every so often I like to freshen up the look and feel of my laptop or netbook, I sometimes remember to post a screenshot or two to UnixPorn, this time I decided to go a little further.

I've just encountered a conundrum that I can't explain, yet I've seen happen. My ISP is Plusnet, I'm very happy with them. I'd recommend them for both value and customer service. The other week they had some issues with one of their pipes, since then so have I. The pipes sorted themselves, my issue didn't.

The beauty of Linux is that it comes in all sorts of flavours, for all sorts of uses. As much as I prefer my own Linux at home, there are times when I am at an office or someone's house and the only option I have is Windows. I like to carry a USB thumbdrive with both Linux and PortableApps on.
