My steps to make Crunchbang Waldorf working

ping works, but the browser, wget, synaptic etc don't

For example, ping google.com works via WiFi but wget google.com doesn't. Run sudo vi /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf, and there add a string with DNS servers: prepend domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4;

Firefox vs Iceweasel

sudo apt-get remove iceweasel
sudo echo -e "\ndeb http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ubuntuzilla/mozilla/apt all main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list > /dev/null
sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com C1289A29
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install firefox

Add Firefox as an alternative browser

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-www-browser \x-www-browser /usr/bin/firefox 50
sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser

Keyboard layout

Add the following command in Openbox autostart file:

setxkbmap -layout 'us,ru' -option 'grp:alt_shift_toggle' &

Add the following command to show what languages you use:

fbxkb &

The languages are shown by images in the folder /usr/share/fbxkb/images. You can change it.
