Does "lighter" necessarily mean "faster" on newer hardware?

http://crunchbanglinux.org – Before Crunchbang, I used Debian Testing with Mate and liked it a lot. Everything I wanted to do was done with optimal performance, but the thought of something out there being "lighter" and possibly "faster" kept nagging me. I completely disregarded the "if you're happy with what you have, don't switch" philosophy and installed Crunchbang. Crunchbang was initially everything I wanted and more, until I started playing 3D games. My FPS have dropped significantly since I moved over from Debian Testing. I started disabling things that I thought may be causi (HowTos)

Archey fix for CrunchBang 1 year 2 weeks ago

I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but some time ago Archey was broken for CrunchBang.  The solution is to scroll down to the distro_display function definition, copy the "distro = Debian" line, paste it in the matching spot below the lines for CrunchBang, change "Debian" to "CrunchBang" in this line, match up your indents (because This Is Python), and

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

Staying on testing 30 weeks 6 days ago

I understand that having "wheezy" in apt.sources means "testing" now (though frozen) and then "stable" one Wheezy goes stable. To keep a "rolling" release, "wheezy" can be changed to "testing" so that it does not go "stable"."testing" is now frozen, so at this point, wheezy = testing?

Colourless CrunchBang 1 year 3 weeks ago

Today I happened to boot my CrunchBang liveUSB on someone's PC. He had never heard of Linux. I was amused by his question: "Is Linux black and white?".Some people (especially geeks) prefer dark themes, but most people don't. I could suggest something like my desktop or something like the Lubuntu default theme.

Holla :DI just found out about crunchbang. I like that its Debian based.I'm been using Debian for the past 2 years, really liked it, I recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 on a new laptop as Debian Lenny was getting a bit old, and I wanted to try out Ubuntu.

Hello,I have ve been using crunchbang & Debian for a few months now, and never had any big probleme with them. I'm using Waldorf and a Testing debian.I've just noticed something strange (at least IMO) : some updates, on both testing(/waldorf) machines, weren't synchronized.

Canonical is not the enemy and even in the world of Linux - at every level from desktop to supercomputer - it is ultimately a rather small fish..Btw many tend to drop #!
