Meet witch Linux. Witch Ignites, Thunderously Casting Hexes! She is currently an Arch based GNU/Linux distribution with the intent of being elegant, while also nimble, free of bloat, and otherwise quite minimal. Standard features include: your choice of tiling window management (scrotwm/dwm), text-based irc client (irssi), web browser (links2), file manager / text editor (MidnightCommander), and drop-down tabbing terminal emulator (tilda)… just to name a few!

Internet Radio Station
After looking for something to do recently I though I may as well try to get an internet radio station to work. With an earlier attempt at this providing some information I decided to look for a guide on the internet that uses icecast2 for the streaming. And something like mpd with an easy interface for controlling what music is playing.

After getting more time to play with Crunchbang 10 I decided to run through the installer process in my Virtualbox session. I fired it up and choose the “Text Install” option first off. The first thing that hit me was that this is pretty much exactly like the Debian installer. There a few changes here and there but it looks mostly the same (I could be wrong). The install was quite simple didn’t take to long either.
Now I decided to check out the ‘Text Expert’. I was actually caught off guard here as I didn’t expect it to be as involved as it was. Lots of options. However I quickly found out that the default options were actually what i needed. However it still took considerably longer to install compared to the “Text Install” but as i said it was also considerably more involved.
After rebooting and going through the boot squence I was pleased when it didn’t take very long to boot up. Both versions of installing took up roughly 1.6GB of space disk space. I can’t remember the amount Crunchbang 9.04 took but I am pretty sure it was more than 1.6GB.

Finally Crunchbang10 is out (I refer to it as #!10). I was just casually reading the updates on identi.ca saw the link to the iso’s made me very happy. I quickly started downloading the I686 and AMD64 versions of both the openbox and Xfce types to my server. I then downloaded the openbox I686 version and burned it to a CD (I’m offering the ISOs to download here http://data.jonys.info/crunchbang/ the directory contains the md5sums to OR you can download them off the official website for Crunchbang here http://crunchbanglinux.org/downloads/statler/alpha-01/).

*** This should work on most distros that are based on debian ***
The name basically says everything. This came as a i meet someone who needed to somehow remotely mount a network disk for back ups music store and such. So i did some research and found out that this is easily done with the use of sshfs so i thought even thought there are some guides already for this why not write my own. Read on for more…
