Topic: New user jumping in

Hi all:

I'm new to crunchbang, but not to Linux. I guess you could call me a "casual" Linux user. I'm not a hard-core nuts-and-bolts computer expert, but I know enough to know I don't like Windoze. I started roughly 10 years ago, dual-booting Red Hat (pre-Fedora) with Win98SE. I've jumped back and forth between Windoze and Linux, giving up when Linux frustrated me, but finally ditching Windoze after they stopped putting out 98SE updates. I then switched full-time to Ubuntu, but found it a little too clunky for me. I loaded a stripped-down version of Debian (Lenny I think) on a netbook a year or two ago, and that was fine, but now I've got a new full-sized laptop. I'm looking to have multiple desktops available, one for gaming, one for work, etc. So far I'm liking Crunchbang.
