[ Thanks to thedude13 for this link. ]

"CrunchEEE also has an "EEE Control Center"-like applet by default in the system tray that lets you quickly enable/disable the wireless, ethernet, bluetooth, and cpu scaling functions. One of my favorite things to do in distributions is to set up a bunch of customized shortcut key combinations to quickly launch things like an xterm session, firefox, or a mail client. OpenBox has shortcuts to edit all of its config files in the right-click menu by default which made doing this very easy. CrunchEEE auto-launches Conky with a basic config file to give you some basic system statistics, which I found nice. I'm a relatively new Conky user, but I've found it to be easily customizable and I have found many user-provided configurations that I like as well."
