The distribution has been designed to offer a good balance of speed and functionality.

The installation of CrunchBang was nothing really spectacular, It is a standard Ubiquity installer which does its job very quickly. A few quick selections and the dreaded disc paritioner screens and you on your way. Installation took about 10 minutes on my machine and felt a little quicker than previous Ubuntu installs, but I put this down to a little bias on my part. Rebooting the machine brought up a standard GRUB menu and I happly noticed that it detected my existing Windows installation and put the relative entry in. Again, the boot was quick and my machine boots to the desktop in under a minute.

Open up Synaptic package manager (System Package Manager) and search for eee. You'll see eee-applet, eee-control, eee-acpi-script, and eeepc-config. eee-control conflicts with eeepc-config - you can only install one of them. See useful reference links for more information.

UPDATE 1/21/09
eee-control is installed by default. eee-control-tray is a panel icon on bottom right (left of clipboard).
