CrunchBang Linux description |
|
|
CrunchBang Linux is like Ubuntu, only different. CrunchBang Linux is like Ubuntu, only different. CrunchBang Linux is my attempt at remastering Ubuntu Linux, it's the Linux distribution I'd like to be able to download, install and use.
I've developed CrunchBang Linux for personal use and I'm currently running various builds on all of my systems, both at home and work. I didn't develop CrunchBang Linux with the intention of releasing/distributing it, indeed it's probably not fit for general consumption; however, I've decided to release it under the premiss that someone may actually find it useful. If you do decide to download, please pay special attention to the disclaimer below.
Differences between Ubuntu and CrunchBang · CrunchBang utilises the lightweight Openbox window manager · ROX-Filer and Thunar are used as file managers instead of Nautilus · Epiphany used as default web browser, Firefox remains available · Out-of-the-box support for multimedia. MP3, Adobe Flash, DVD playback etc. · Sans brownness. CrunchBang uses a modified Darkilouche GTK theme and Tango icons
What's New in This Release:
· CrunchBang Linux is now based on Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy Heron". This brings many new improvements and package updates; most notably an updated 2.6.24.15 Linux Kernel, and Xorg 7.3. · Openbox 3.4.7-pre2, this release includes many improvements including the GDM control mentioned here. · CrunchBang Linux repositories are now enabled by default. The repositories include CrunchBang Linux specific packages and fixes, plus Openbox related updates etc. · A new default theme based on Clearlooks, "Darkness Returns". See the screenshots.
Other changes:
· Firefox 3 Beta 5 is now the default browser, replacing Epiphany. · Claws Mail replaces Thunderbird as the default e-mail client.
