+So, um, this is David and I'm, we're just leaving Linnick Vest North West and you are.
+I'm Larry Caffirum and who are you with?
+I'm with the, uh, with CrunchBang Linnick's.
+Okay.
+There's a, uh, a Debian-based distribution that's, uh, got open box, uh, window manager running
+atop, the, uh, Debian-based.
+Yeah.
+And so, you listen to Hacker Public Radio?
+Uh, I do, actually.
+I just started, um, just recently and, uh, it's a, it's a great, um, it's a great outlet
+for, um, a lot of, uh, interesting topics and, um, interviews and things along those lines,
+especially this one.
+Yeah, cool.
+And then, um, did you listen to the New Year's Eve episodes?
+I did.
+And, uh, and Philip and Rebecca, uh, Newbro, uh, really, uh, really put on a good, uh, good
+interview for, uh, uh, uh, for those shows and it was, uh, phenomenal and, uh, a
+core nominal, right?
+Yeah.
+It's Philip, Newbro, the, uh, the developer of, uh, CrunchBang.
+And so, you're a pretty, um, much of a fan CrunchBang, huh?
+Oh, yeah.
+No, but, uh, it's one of the best distros, uh, around I've, um, I have a, uh, background,
+uh, using Fedora, that was my main, um, uh, uh, distro for years and I changed to CrunchBang
+about nine months ago and I really like it.
+It's very lightweight.
+It works across a wide range of, uh, hardware from old to new and, um, uh, it just, it's
+very, uh, very stable.
+Cool.
+CrunchBang, Crunch Fedora.
+That's really good.
+That's really good.
+So, you would suggest, uh, people try out CrunchBang.
+Yeah.
+I would suggest people to try it.
+It's actually not for everybody and it doesn't, uh, it doesn't portray itself to be and
+that's by design.
+It's actually probably, if you have a couple of years of Linux under your belt, so to speak,
+it's probably, uh, a good thing to try.
+If you're brand new to Linux, you may want to try something else first just to get your
+feet wet, so to speak, but, um, uh, if you've got a couple of years and more of experience
+and you want to give, um, something like a window manager or try, which is different
+than a desktop environment, uh, a CrunchBang would be the way to go.
+Very cool.
+And so, um, do you happen to know the, um, name for the white version of CrunchBang?
+I'm sorry, the which version?
+The white version?
+Oh, the white version?
+Oh, uh, no.
+So, uh, I understand it's called white bang, so, uh, I'm in a little, uh, humor there.
+Yeah, as I can't, uh, I can't pronounce myself.
+Yes, I can't confirm or deny that, but anyway, yeah, it's, um, again, it's, uh, it's,
+it's a good, it's a good distro.
+We, I really enjoy using it and I, in fact, I learned a lot since using it, uh, starting
+to use it about nine months ago, uh, as opposed to the, uh, six or seven years that I've
+been using Linux, uh, before, um, the, the forums are, are particularly, uh, helpful
+and, uh, there's a lot of good answers, you know, the wikis are, are pretty good, and
+so there's a lot of information there.
+And if you do have a question about, uh, um, CrunchBang and go to the forum, they're usually
+answered pretty quickly.
+Okay, and did you enjoy the fast air this week?
+No, I love this, this show, this next to scale, which is a much bigger show, um, this is
+probably the best show on the West Coast, and, um, I enjoy coming out, I, again, I drove
+up from California and I, I'd, I'd walk to the show to come to it because it's, it's
+that good.
+So I, I encourage anybody who's never been to Linux Fest Northwest to come next year.
+Okay, real good.
+Well, nice to meet you and you, and we'll see you next year, Brad, next year, David,
+thanks.
