Crunchbang: the lighter, smarter Ubuntu.

Hello everyone.
While looking for a good Openbox based distro, I stumbled upon the distro called Crunchbang, which is an unofficial Ubuntu based derivative. Evidently it's a British distro that, unlike Ubuntu, comes with most popular codecs preinstalled. Its definitely not for new Linux users, and myself am having adjustment issues at the mo, but maybe someone whose good with openbox can give it a shot.

*edit*
Have now made #! (crunchBang) my new linux distro of choice. The simple style, fast speed, and infinite flexibility have won me over.

Something interesting is that I'm the one who wrote the installation manual for it.

Sweet! They just updated concurrent with the Jaunty version of Ubuntu, and added 64 bit support. Site revamp looks good as well.

I think I'll give this a try on my netbook. I have Zenwalk on it right now, but I've grown tired of it. Also thinking of giving Mint a try, but this Distro seems more intriguing to me.
