I was amazed by the amount of resources used by crunchbang linux .It was so lite on resources wanted to try emulating the same on linux mint .I wanted to use resource/graphical intensive application via Linux Mint Gnome Session Mode and frequently used application such web browser wanted to access via openbox window manager . Since crunchbang linux is based on openbox window manager .
One of the secret crunchbang linux is using openbox window manager.
Below are steps to create open crunchbang like environment within linux mint.
Under Terminal window in linux mint first install the openbox window manager which can be done by
sudo apt-get install openbox obconf openbox-themes pypanel feh
We are also installing the other software such menu maker and obconf as well.
Let us install some software which are also low on resources by typing the following command
sudo apt-get install claws-mail liferea gpodder gftp transmission skype xchat gwibber pidgin gnome-nettool gimp inkscape gpicview gcolor2 agave gnome-specimen fontypython xsane scrot abiword gnumeric evince vlc rhythmbox audacity pitivi kino gtk-recordMyDesktop cheese sound-juicer soundconverter winff evince xchm xfburn osmo pcmanfm terminator xterm file-roller xpad gworldclock lxappearance
sudo apt-get install mc rtorrent mocp newsbeuter elinks mutt irssi naim htop
unzip the attached zip file
After unzipping the file you will need to copy all the files except crunchbang folder to home folder and /etc/skel/ .
copy all the files under crunchbang folder under /usr/bin/
after completing all the above operation . Restart the machine .
Logon to system under openbox session .
Enjoy crungbang linux under linux mint.
