For my desktops, I start with a minimal Ubuntu Server, then add a WM and the<br>
20-30 programs I use. It is scripted, so every time it improves AND something<br>
breaks when there is a new LTS release. ;)<br>

Never used #! - I'd assumed it was more like Arch and rolling releases just<br>
don't fit my stability needs. Seems that distro was pretty much exactly what<br>

#! was build on Debian stable. From what I can gleam from the forums it sounds like this may have been partially, if not wholly, based on the progress Debian has made and changes coming up in Jessie. I don't know how much, if any, is because of the change to Systemd but it sounds like at least part of it was. Not for philosophical reasons but purely technical ones. It sounds like there is also movement to keep #! going under a new name...<br>
