Re: Debian Testing as base for next Crunchbang release (Suggestion)

Looking at the screenshot threads for the last couple of months it's really interesting how many of us have taken the plunge and are now using Debian Squeeze as a base for our machines. The range of crunchbang like efforts has been amazing. I'd now more than ever love to see a Crunchbang based on the final Squeeze release which should be a  cracker!

It will still be a bit longer to wait but it would make for a wonderful stable release smile big_smile cool

How many of us are already taking this path? Feel free to share smile http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic … zesidbang/

I took the plunge recently, and found the instructions at http://dtx.omnsproject.org/?p=337 very concise and easy to follow.  I went a few steps further by going with openbox instead of xfce, selecting different media players, etc., but isn't that the point?  smile

Re: Debian Testing as base for next Crunchbang release (Suggestion)

I'd like to know if Debian Testing is using by default cleartype patched libcairo, libfreetype and ibxft just like Ubuntu?
I know there are some packages for Lenny, but what for Testing?
Thanks.
