As a long time Debian/Debian based system user I am a little out of my element here but will learn. Pacman, to me, is a game, and time will tell if I like it as much as apt-get. One thing your right about though is this Gnome presentation is gorgeous. Fast and efficient.

However, Manjaro is possibly less aggressive in rolling out updates and provides more stable releases without going for bleeding edge. Manjaro has been good to me for last few months :). Lets see how long it takes to break.<br /><br />Regards,<Arindam Senhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08081209827341326458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402517875283707603.post-49544690250664187672013-09-15T21:04:51.909-07:002013-09-15T21:04:51.909-07:00In the past I have tried a couple of distributions...In the past I have tried a couple of distributions that try to make Arch more user friendly, but, with all due respect to developers, I am not sure the concept makes sense long-term. Arch is a rolling release. Things WILL break occasionally. Even Arch wiki freely acknowledges that. If a user is looking for a newbie-friendly distro he or she is not likely to have the knowledge or the inclination Niko Z.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14296351660281766046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402517875283707603.post-18761559401153060722013-09-15T20:50:39.481-07:002013-09-15T20:50:39.481-07:00Hi Arpit:

However, Pear OS is more MacOSX type and has a lot of special effects. How powerful is your laptop/computer? I am asking this because you are running Crunchbang which I associate typically with low powered machines. Openbox does wonders to low powered machines but is not easy to configure like a KDE or GNOME Arindam Senhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08081209827341326458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402517875283707603.post-47040683007414581792013-09-15T20:47:21.522-07:002013-09-15T20:47:21.522-07:00Hi Tika:
