So, when I released the initial CrunchBang Linux I really didn't think that anyone would actually download it. Turns out I was wrong, and this really surprised me. Initially I had no intention of working on another release of CrunchBang, see the quote below from the release notes:

It should be noted that my remastered version of Ubuntu is intended for my own personal use. I had no intention of releasing any disk images when I started this project; however, now that I've produced a working copy, I've decided to release the disk image under the premiss that someone may find it useful.

This is the first, and possibly last, release of CrunchBang Linux. Therefore you should expect to encounter numerous issues and a wide variety of erroneous bugs.

However, now that CrunchBang has been released and people have started using it [I'm truly shocked by this fact] I feel that it is only proper that I do my best to tidy it up and improve it. Therefore I have begun work on CrunchBang Linux 7.10.02. The new release should be considered a "spit & polish" release with fixes to the default theme and a few applications added which were missing in the first release. More news on this to come soon.

If you've got any suggestions for the next release then please feel free to post them in the Feedback & Suggestions forum. Now would be the ideal time to influence the next release.

    I LOVE CrunchBang. Before I downloaded it, I had installed Openbox and was greatly disappointed with what I found (a black screen, and a right-click menu with three items), but CrunchBang has given me a good base upon which to tweak Openbox and Conky.

    Even if you never release another version, I want to thank you for showing me that Openbox can be useful. I am using it to learn xml, and I am using Conky to learn about system commands.

    @Ub-noob – I love CrunchBang too! Check out the developer’s blog at the CrunchBang web site: http://crunchbang.org/
    He’s got a post about rpl – A Find & Replace Terminal Tool, http://crunchbang.org/archives.....inal-tool/
    It simplifies recursive text replacement commands.
    This actual post was left by a former contributor.
