Any idea whats going on with bunsenlabs ?

Crunchbang was the distro that taught me Linux. I needed a *nix style build system for a programming class, and #! looked cool so I went with it. It was a magic moment when I learned how to install software from source.

Sorry, not here to answer your question, just reminiscing. I hope the project is OK.

Don't bother with small fry distros.
