CrunchBang Linux is a lightweight Ubuntu based Linux distribution. It uses the Openbox window manager and is especially suitable for low-end hardware with limited resources such as the ASUS Eee PC. CrunchBang can be run as a Live CD and fully installed from the same CD.
CrunchBang Linux is designed to offer a good balance of speed and functionality. It has been reported to boot faster than Ubuntu by Softpedia and also includes a larger number of applications by default than a standard Ubuntu installation. It operates better under low resources than Ubuntu and is faster than a normal Ubuntu distribution.
Unlike Ubuntu, CrunchBang includes several non-free or patent encumbered applications and libraries such as out-of-the-box support for several multimedia formats including MP3, Adobe Flash as well as DVD playback. CrunchBang also replaces some applications that are included with default Ubuntu, such as:
- Openbox Window Manager instead of the GNOME Desktop Environment
- AbiWord and other GNOME Office components instead of OpenOffice.org
- Deluge BitTorrent client in place of Transmission
- Skype VoIP client instead of Ekiga
- CrunchBang also uses a different GTK theme, icon set and default wallpapers.
