Is Crunchbang a good server distro?

I might just ramble a little, but there is a point to it all ;)First a little about me.I've been a Linux user since about 2005, but just started using CrunchBang about a year ago. I distro hopped for several years before settling on Linux Mint main edition and LMDE as my distro's of choice. Since finding CrunchBang it has quickly become my distro of choice.

A short while back, crunchbang was made available to users as an XFCE distro in addition to the openbox distro...And I LOVED the XFCE distro.... to me (and a few of my pals) it was theee best XFCE distro ever....

Hello!I am new to Crunchbang, and wish I had used it sooner. It is definitely the distro for me. I've distro hopped for the past 3 years. I've used Ubuntu, Debian, zenwalk, PClinuxOS, and a slew of other distros.

Howdi just discovered crunchbang from distro watch, Come from an Ubuntu < 10.10 background, then after Unity reared its head moved to opensuse and then when I couldn't stand yast decided to go to Fedora 16 but for some reason it refuses to work on my laptop, installs fine but then wont boot :(So off to Distro Watch seen crunchbang and I'm so glad Fedora didn't work now as crunchb

Hello all. I am new to the crunchbang world. I have been using Linux Mint for sometime on my desktop, but I have had trouble finding a good distro for my somewhat archaic laptop. It is an old box, but has updated RAM and an SSD. But anyways I tried a lot and of the few that worked crunchbang was my favorite. And it is growing on me more and more.

I'm sure we already have several threads on this in the archives, but I keep thinking about it, and we often state in these forums that "CrunchBang is basically Debian with Openbox and a few UI and performance tweaks."  So, is CrunchBang a separate distro, or is it "basically Debian"?  Yes, there is the separate repository, but aside from a patched library or two

CrunchBang, a Linux distribution based on Debian and powered by the lightweight Openbox window manager, designed especially for low-end machines, is now at version 11 R20130119.

CrunchBang 11 R20130119 distribution, codenamed "Waldorf," is based on Wheezy sources, which is the testing branch of Debian.

Welcome to CrunchBang, thatguychuck, and you can thank corenominal for such a great distro.
