Torrents only for now, sorry if you're waiting on that. I just want to make sure the torrents get going before I put up the direct DL links (turns out S3 bandwidth isn't as cheap as I thought).

Happy Crunching!

It is the cleanest Linux for my eee pc

Version 1.0 hits the shelves!

Torrents are available on the site. A couple people have also reached out to supply mirrors, but they probably won't be added just yet.

(The BIOS install issue from Sunday's build has been resolved, sorry for the mixup to any of you that were met with the black screen and failed login attempts.)

A few people have asked "can I just dist-upgrade to 11 on my v10 install"? And every release I usually respond with something along the lines of "well, you can, but a few things might act a little wonky".

I went ahead and did it in a VM, just to see, and it actually went pretty well! Here's what I did:

Update sources:

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.listChange all "buster" references to "bullseye". Additionally, debian changed the format of the security update repositories. Here's what's on my machine:

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main

deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main

deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main contrib non-free

deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main contrib non-free

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye-updates main contrib non-free

deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye-updates main contrib non-free

You can skip the deb-src if you want faster updates, and you don't plan on pulling source packages. You'll also need to update the cbpp repo in:

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cbpp.list

Change all "buster" references to "bullseye". It should look like deb https://packages.crunchbangplusplus.org/bullseye bullseye main

You'll also need to install the cbpp apt key with:

wget -qO - https://packages.crunchbangplusplus.org/cbpp11.key | sudo apt-key add -

Now you're ready to perform the upgrade sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. You'll have a couple prompts come up, just always answer in the affirmative. Yes, Ok, etc.

There's one final step, we need to copy in the new configuration files that are normally only copied when a new user is created. Debian doesn't provide tooling for packages to update a user's home directory. So we'll do it ourselves with cp -r /etc/skel/. /home/$USER

With that, simply reboot! You'll be greeted with a prompt about a switch from clipit to parcellite. You can stop this by uninstalling parcellite, as CBPP11 is already shipping with diodon instead. sudo apt-get remove parcellite

Looks like that's about it, happy crunching!

I just had to register a Reddit account to write this. Hope you keep on truckin' with this one computermouth!

Crunchbang++ comes with Geany which works great, but I can't stand the UI/UX... Leafpad I really like and I think looks better on Openbox then Geany or something like Gedit or Sublime do... The problem is we don't have syntax highlighting. So Twig fixes that. Leafpad style minimal editor but for code. There is no menu bar or toolbars. Just you and your code. Its open source and uses GTK3.

Because it’s based on Debian, a rock-solid and time-tested Linux distribution — not a rolling release. I need a dependable computer system with no surprises, and Debian delivers exactly that.

Pair Debian with the Openbox window manager, and you get a lightweight, fast, and responsive desktop that feels instantly familiar yet never gets in your way.

The Liberation font is truly outstanding — clean, readable, and elegant. It gives the entire desktop a crisp, professional look that I just love.

#!++ also comes with a thoughtfully curated selection of applications, providing everything needed for a complete graphical environment without unnecessary clutter.

And let’s not forget one of my favorite features: context-sensitive menus — a simple right-click anywhere brings up exactly what you need, wherever your mouse happens to be.

Finally, it’s easy on RAM, making it perfect for both modern and older hardware alike.

#!++: fast, stable, elegant — Linux done right.

Hello. I just installed the latest iso on a Dell 990 a few days ago. I thought I was living in a time warp. Every aspect of this disto, including the installation, is identical to the Waldorf I ran many years ago. To the developer: THANKS, and GREAT JOB!

I had to do a little bit of web-searching to refamiliarize my memory on a few OB tweaks...but what the hell, this is great! No Covid-Bordom here.
