CrunchBang Linux

In an effort to open up the development of CrunchBang, I have created a new project on Launchpad. The project is to be driven by the CrunchBangers team. CrunchBangers is an open team and anyone with an interest in the future development of the distribution is welcome to join. I have currently set the introduction to read as:

Creating a project account on Launchpad is something I have been meaning to do for sometime. Hopefully the tools made available by Launchpad will enable this project to step-up to the next level. I will try to publish/integrate more information about the various Launchpad services over the coming days/weeks. Meanwhile, if working to help shape the future of this distribution is something of interest to you, please feel free to join the team and become a CrunchBanger!

The final 8.10.02 builds of CrunchBang Linux, CrunchBang Linux “Lite” and CrunchEee are now available. The new releases contain numerous changes and many fixes provided by the CrunchBang community. For more information about these releases, please see:

A huge thank you is owed to everyone who has involved themselves in the growing CrunchBang community. Your feedback, help, support and contributions are really appreciated and are helping to shape CrunchBang Linux into a usable distribution! You rock!

For all the podcast junkies, monsterb and threethirty (a couple of Linux Cranks) have reviewed CrunchBang Linux for Hacker Public Radio. The review is fairly short and sweet, but CrunchBang seems to have been well received. You can download and listen to the review at: http://hackerpublicradio.org/eps.php?id=0265

The Linux Install Podcast, otherwise know as thelip, has returned after a prolonged absence. For the first episode in over 6 months, the presenter chose to feature and install CrunchBang Linux.

If you have not come across thelip before, the podcast is well worth a listen. The format of the podcast basically follows the presenter as he talks through the installation of a chosen Linux distribution. This makes the podcast a great resource for new and novice users. More advanced users might also want to consider listening as the presenter is very knowledgeable and many handy tips can be gained from his experience.

Please consider downloading Episode 49 featuring CrunchBang Linux and showing your support for this most excellent of Linux projects; it really is a boon for the Linux community.
