I have updated the "Editions" section, because now that 9.04 has been removed from the project's website, the Lite edition is no longer available. -- Jswf ( talk) 16:30, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
Good Idea. I have taken the liberty to reword it to point out that the removal from the website was due to Ubuntu 9.04 reaching it's end of life. 95.222.41.220 ( talk) 00:03, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
I added several new sentences. Now that CrunchBang Statler is based exclusively on Debian, it's no longer necessary to distinguish it from Ubuntu. The "Comparison with Ubuntu" section should be modified. Arpadapo ( talk) 03:41, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
In preparation for the release of Waldorf when Debian Wheezy is finally let loose, I'm currently doing a wholesale edit/upgrade/modification of the page. Anyone wishing to help can join in. Larrycafiero ( talk) 00:45, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
The lead states: "#" is pronounced "crunch", and "!" is pronounced "bang" in unix speak. Since when? For such a prominent assertion in the lead that ought to be backed up. Shebang suggests it is not. RichardOSmith ( talk) 21:12, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

For quite a lot of time Ubuntu doesn't come with GNOME panel, they use Unity. Same goes for GNOME panel. Overall, since CrunchBang is not based on Ubuntu, the point of this comparison is not evident. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff ( talk) 01:44, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

I heard about CrunchBang Linux today and searched for it on Wikipedia by searching 'crunch bang' in the search box. Nothing came up GPL related.
( search results: https://en.wikipedia.org/?search=crunch+bang&title=Special%3ASearch )
Suggest having at least one 'crunch bang' string on the page. (ie. separated by a space) to allow a search hit. Perhaps a naming section: "CrunchBang is named after the Ascii characters for crunch bang (#!) , the first characters in a shell script"

Toward its end, this thread points the reader toward this thread on Bunsen Labs Linux, which in turn points the reader toward this at Github, which is very new indeed. I don't think that anything about this, or about any other effort to continue #!, should be added to the WP article for two weeks or longer; and I write this here in the talk page mostly as a memo to my later self (or to anybody else). -- Hoary ( talk) 07:39, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
Somebody ( contributions) removed

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just modified one external link on CrunchBang Linux. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

After February 2018, "External links modified" talk page sections are no longer generated or monitored by InternetArchiveBot. No special action is required regarding these talk page notices, other than
regular verification using the archive tool instructions below. Editors
have permission to delete these "External links modified" talk page sections if they want to de-clutter talk pages, but see the
RfC before doing mass systematic removals. This message is updated dynamically through the template {{

After strolling around the web looking for sources I discovered that the sources concerning the specifics of the distro are hard to find at other places than CrunchBangs old site or on the forums. While I understand the reason for using the Primary source template I'd argue that:
The explicit reason for abandoning the "Lite" version was hard to find. While it's true that that particular version of Ubuntu reached EOL I couldn't find any statements from the developer/developers regarding that particular tidbit. I've got no reason for disbelieving that the switch of the base system and that EOL was the cause, but I can't verify it. Theoretically there could've been a Debian based "Lite" version, so I assume that it must've been a conscious choice. Can't find it in print.
So, a wild suggestion: remove the template. The revision of the CrunchBang at the time also seem to have been in a worse state than it is today. Kxxvii ( talk) 19:00, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
