I'm curious why you do not run debian and install openbox? What does crunchbang add to the miox? not trolling, genuinely curious

  CrunchBang is the best-looking distro I've come across. It also comes with scripts that will install common proprietary software like Chrome or Dropbox. Obviously you could accomplish all of that by installing Debian and spending hours configuring it yourself, but that seems unnecessary when others have already done it for you.

    Spending hours to install Chrome? apt-get install chromium Or just go to the chrome download page and download the official chrome debian package? I'm also not sure that chrome ios "proprietary software."

      To be clear, the part that takes hours to accomplish is "best-looking distro I've come across". Of course it's not difficult to install Google Chrome (or Chromium for that matter). It just saves time to have it installed automatically.

      I chose it over debian primarily due to the way it looks, I didn't have to spend 3-4 hours configuring debian to make it look better I guess
