It's funny; the thing I probably customized the most was the drop shadows.

Crunchbang isn't really popular though, but I do like it for it's simplicity, speed, size, and how easy it is to edit pretty much anything. Even without documentation.

Yeah, for some reason the installer just miraculously started working. Figures, haha.

Hopefully this topic lives.
Also while I'm here, when I try to create a bootable USB for the Crunchbang installer, I follow the instructions on this page, using dd to copy the contents of the .iso to my USB. I also tried using the USB Image Writer tool that comes with cinnamon, and unetbootin. In every case, the live desktop works fine, but the installer only works up to the point where it scans my partitions for use with the partition manager built-in. It freezes halfway in loading, and I have to shutdown by force.
When I attempt to view the contents of my USB directly, I get a "recursive partitions found on /dev/sdblah" error in GParted. I've searched pretty hard thus far and I haven't found an answer. Any of you guys know what this might mean, and if I'm doing something wrong here?

Off Topic / Re: What coding language should I learn
« on: July 06, 2013, 11:38:39 PM »
I'll go ahead and link this. It's a quick look at a variety of commonly used languages, such as C/C++, Python, Ruby, Lua, etc. Take a look at some of the examples, and see which one looks the best to you.
Since these rundowns are targeted at people who have had previous programming experiences, these are no proper tutorials, but a taste of what you may be learning. After you've selected a language, I'd look up a more in-depth introduction.
There's no one definitive language you should learn first before anything else. It all depends on what you want to become familiar with. Nowadays, you can pretty much make any sort of application in any language, e.g. making web servers with moonscript.

I copy and pasted part of your error in google and did some searching and found this command on stackoverflow. It was for Ubuntu, but I replaced "apt-get install" to accommodate for your package manager. The same should apply if you have the same sources.

Those animations aren't added by Linux, by the way. They're added by the composition manager, which is in this case, compiz. Composition managers are there to add drop shadows, and other general window effects. Linux is simply the kernel of the entire OS, Ubuntu.
Don't direct the praise where it doesn't belong.

Perhaps you could give Mageia a shot?
There's also Zorin OS, which basically tries to emulate the look and feel of other operating systems (mainly Windows) while adding its own nice little "spices".
Then there's pretty much every other variant of Ubuntu; Kubuntu, running off of KDE (which is pretty much 100% focused on looking pretty), and Lubuntu, running off of LXDE (100% focused on being fast as hell). There's also Edubuntu but that doesn't seem like something you'd need, and the unofficial GnomeUbuntu or "Gnubuntu", running off of Gnome 3.
