I will try to help you decide this!<br /> <br /> <br /> Ubuntu and CrunchBang are very&nbsp;similar&nbsp;to&nbsp;each other&nbsp;because CrunchBang is based off of Ubuntu. They each have their benefits and problems.<br /> <br /> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Why CrunchBang?</span><br /> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #444444; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><br /> <blockquote> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #444444; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px;">CrunchBang is a&nbsp;Debian GNU/Linux&nbsp;based distribution offering a great blend of speed, style and substance. Using the nimble&nbsp;Openbox window manager, it is highly customisable and provides a modern, full-featured GNU/Linux system&nbsp;<em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 12px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">without sacrificing performance</em>.</span></blockquote> <br /> If you are looking for a fast distro I advise using CrunchBang, it is built for speed. But it isn't the best when talking about user friendly, one of its downsides. When I got an old tower, it had little RAM. So I decided to try out Ubuntu on it, it lagged a lot and I need to find a alternative. I found CrunchBang, it was a great fit. It ran great and it did exactly what I wanted it for. So if you are looking for a fast distro pick CrunchBang.<br /> <br /> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Why Ubuntu?</span><br /> <br /> Ubuntu is a distro that is built for the user. Making it easy for the user to use it, much like Windows. If you are looking for an alternative to Windows and want a friendly UI I advise Ubuntu. But remember you must have a decent computer to run&nbsp;Ubuntu.<br /> <br /> It all comes down to what works for you. If you are looking for speed then choose CrunchBang. If you want a user&nbsp;friendly&nbsp;system pick Ubuntu. Hope this helped you decision when choosing either one.Tristanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12437764573914753145noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5451606322202020763.post-24500124967282591992011-09-10T13:27:00.000-07:002011-09-10T16:08:07.059-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Ubuntu used to much RAM for my server box. So I set out to look for a better alternative, I found CrunchBang. I found it used very little RAM and HDD space. Good use for my older server box, I was very pleased with CrunchBang. To this day I still use CrunchBang Linux and I think I will be sticking with it. It is easy to use and I had a great time learning how to use Linux with it.Tristanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12437764573914753145noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5451606322202020763.post-23036061751539292712011-09-04T19:33:00.000-07:002011-09-04T20:01:22.441-07:00<blockquote> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #444444;">"<a href="http://crunchbanglinux.org/">CrunchBang</a> is a&nbsp;<a href="http://www.debian.org/" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 12px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Debian, the Universal operating system.">Debian GNU/Linux</a>&nbsp;based distribution offering a great blend of speed, style and substance.
