yay someone that uses wattospm big_smile I haven't worked on it in a long time because I thought no one used it.

I say never be complete, I say stop being perfect, I say lets evolve, let the chips fall where they may.

I'm perfectly capable of installing software, so I don't think all this really matters :-P

I'm sure a lot of these programs are extremely bloated, so I'm really just listing my, not what "must" be in the ISO!

My biggest concern is having all the codecs, DVD, Java, working.


New to the forums, somewhat new to Crunchbang. I had tried Crunchbang a few times before, but had always quit because I didn't like that it was dependent on Ubuntu. I'm quite sure I'll be in Crunchbang to stay, this time around :-D Debian, and then the Alpha is looking great *nods nods*

Keep up the great work!

You can try an MPlayer front-end like GNOME-MPlayer or SMPlayer.

Note: ** Please read before posting **

BTW if you wish to contact me, send me an e-mail instead of a PM.

I noticed that my suggestion for

IM client
centerIM (cli) is not counted.

Maybe my vote is missed altogether. No big deal though.

Re: Vote for your preferred apps

sorry for not giving categories, just some things I missed in Statler Alpha:

- the network manager from 9.04
- pysdm
- moc
- rhythmbox
- midnight commander
- tint2 gui tool

would-be-cool, but not-exactly-necessary:

- wine
- adeskbar or the like

always liked the apps selection in 9.04.
