 This is how I use Ubuntu... if you mind?
-====== Things to do after a fresh Ubuntu 10.04 install ======
+===== Switching to Crunchbang =====
-===== Remove unwanted software =====
+Bépo (french Dvorak) is not an available keyboard layout in the Graphical installation. This is a pity. But, once installed,to switch to a Bépo keyboard layout:
+<code=bash>
+sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
+</code>
-  * Remove Mono <code bash>sudo apt-get purge libmono* libgdiplus cli-common libglitz-glx1 libglitz1</code> [[http://www.theopensourcerer.com/2010/04/29/how-to-remove-mono-from-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx/|source]]
+Firefox and Thunderbird are replaced by Iceweasel and Icedove. But it's the same piece of software. If you already have a firefox session saved in your home folder, it will find it and all your settings will be available in Iceweasel. For Thunderbird, you'll needd to rename the ~/.thunderbird folder to ~/.icedove before starting it for the first time.
-  * Replacements: F-spot -> gThumb, Tomboy -> gNote, Empathy −> Pidgin <code bash>sudo apt-get install gthumb gnote pidgin</code>
-  * Nothing to do with Mono but I don't use Gwibber or Empathy either <code bash>sudo apt-get purge gwibber empathy</code>
-===== Add a list of useful repos =====
