I'm an LXDE user; I'm mainly here for the community, which in my opinion is far more awesome than either #! or BL. Whether LXDE itself is more awesome than BL is a horse race though, and I've applied a few of the #!/BL twerks tweaks to my lxde-rc.xml.

"Selfless hobby" works for me to describe them. They are a great bunch of guys that I have a lot of respect for. One DEV doesn't even use Linux for his daily OS - Free BSD I believe, and he's as much as said so around the forums, so I'm hot giving away secrets. Another uses ARCH, if your care to go searching. And more. These are the BunsenLabs Dev team you owe a thank you to for this great distro. And hhh, I think he deserves a special mention - he taught himself how to make live ISOs so you have a BunsenLabs ISO to put on a DVD, USB stick - and a CD sized one as well.

So yea, you called it right, Eraph, 'selfless hobby' fits like a glove for the devs here whether they use Bunsen or not because BunsenLabs is a team effort.

Me, I'm a Bunsen user and on the dev team, but I'm just along for the ride as an ex-#! mod, I can't program a thing. I still have #! "Wheezy" running here. That's #! Waldorf without the #! repos, now classified as Debian Old Stable. All other distros I had are gone. Wiped out the last three not long ago freeing up 155GB on my HDD.

I usually prefer a tiling window manager of some sort for my desktop but I don't think such an environment is fit for general consumption [1]

In case anybody is interested, my daily driver at the moment is:

empty@alpine ~ % cat /etc/os-release 
NAME="Alpine Linux"
ID=alpine
VERSION_ID=3.3.3
PRETTY_NAME="Alpine Linux v3.3"
HOME_URL="http://alpinelinux.org"
BUG_REPORT_URL="http://bugs.alpinelinux.org"

Anyway, I have always considered BunsenLabs to be a gateway distribution leading the user gently away from the mollycoddling, abstracted, GUI configuration tools offered by the main desktops and towards a purer, more UNIX-like experience 8)

Such a thing is surely worth tending

If we hadn't produced Bunsenlabs I would be running a Debian netinstall with Openbox, with #! scripts brought up-to-date...
So actually Bunsenlabs is my perfect distro (especially with a window snapping script )!

This was why I started using #! and why I'm here now. Debian(originally Ubuntu)+openbox was what I was aiming for, and Philip saved me the trouble of tweaking it all nicely, and did a better job on the graphics than I could have.

#!'s tweakability was another draw, and of course my BL has been altered a bit from the default. I'm not sure if it's OK to even mention this kind of thing here, but I like to just throw files on the desktop to deal with when I get round to it (just like real life), so use xfdesktop4. I also use an auto-regenerating menu. I'm just too lazy to edit menu.xml every time I install something.

Now I've said it. Don't be too hard on me. :8

And that's the key John. #!/Bunsen tweakability. Mine certainly isn't an OOTB Bunsen, but it is still Bunsen.

Now IF someone did a weekly podcast on Bunsen that should be one of the main points brought up.

And I could have sworn you were the BSD guy. {pop} goes that bubble. Doesn't matter you're still our walking, talking, living, breathing encyclopedia of Linux answers. You , damo and xaos52 seem to be 'everywhere' answering everything. At least I see the three of you three more often then some of the others.

I was using OpenBSD but I had problems with iwn(4) and I didn't have time to debug it properly

Alpine Linux is very similar to OpenBSD in respect of basic system administration and it's a lot faster as well, though less secure.

@nobody -- isn't that for the iwi(4) driver?

My device uses iwn(4)

EDIT: Also, I was using -current for some months after that commit date so I should have already had that patch.

Thanks anyway though

OH OK, so I wasn't wrong.

I see on the Alpine Linux page:

About
Alpine Linux is an independent, non-commercial, general purpose Linux distribution designed for power users and is way above Sector11's level, who appreciate security, simplicity and resource efficiency.

Lol, Don't worry Sector11, I see a very similar message catered to "Horizon_Brave" in every Man Page and IT book I read!
