FuryBSD
FuryBSD was an open-source, desktop-oriented operating system based on FreeBSD. It was an attempt to revive the spirit of other easy-to-use FreeBSD-based projects of the past (e.g. PC-BSD and TrueOS), but it also adds additional convenience in the form of a hybrid USB/DVD image. The project provides separate live images with Xfce and KDE Plasma desktops. FuryBSD was free to use and it can be freely distributed under the BSD license.

Philip Newborough has announced the release of CrunchBang Linux 11, a lightweight Debian-based distribution with Openbox as the default desktop user interface, suitable for both new and older computers: "CrunchBang 11 'Waldorf' released. Debian 7 'Wheezy' was released on May 4th; now that Wheezy has migrated to the stable branch of Debian, this means that Waldorf is the new stable CrunchBang release. To acknowledge this occasion, I have rebuilt the Waldorf images. The new images are available now from the download page. For anyone unaware, Waldorf has been in development for well over a year and has seen numerous development releases. This probably makes Waldorf the most thoroughly tested CrunchBang release to date." Visit the CrunchBang Linux forums to read the brief release announcement.

Philip Newborough has announced the availability of a new development build of CrunchBang, a lightweight Debian-based distribution featuring the Openbox window manager: "It has been approximately three months since the previous 'Waldorf' images were built, so I figured the time was right to upload some updated builds. To be honest, I was tempted to wait until Debian 'Wheezy' migrates to stable before updating the builds, but Debian being Debian (released when ready), it could mean waiting a week, a month, or even a year. Anyhow, the new images contain some fixes to the installer that affected installations performed using DVD media. Personally, I tend to install via a USB stick, so I had not come across the bug myself, until somebody else mentioned it. The bug appeared as an error message just before the GRUB install screen, where it asked the user to insert an additional disk." Here is the full release announcement listing the most notable changes. Download (MD5): crunchbang-11-20130119-amd64.iso (751MB, torrent). |

Philip Newborough has announced the availability of a new development build of CrunchBang Linux 11, a lightweight Debian-based distribution with Openbox: "Updated Waldorf images are available now. These new images were built to address an issue with the live session, whereby under certain conditions the live session would spawn two X sessions. Whilst this bug only affected live sessions and was not present once an installation had been performed, I still figured it was worth addressing to ensure any live users can more accurately evaluate the system, before performing an installation. Other changes have been kept to an absolute minimum and any existing Waldorf users should not need to perform a new installation, unless they wish to help with testing the install process."

Philip Newborough has released a new development build of CrunchBang Linux 11, a lightweight Debian-based distribution featuring the Openbox window manager: "Updated 'Waldorf' images are available now. The updated images include the Debian installer 7.0 beta 2 release. The main bug fix in the installer that concerns CrunchBang is #683849. This bug affected a number of users and rendered the previous images as uninstallable. Other changes have been kept to an absolute minimum and any existing Waldorf users should not need to perform a new installation unless they wish to help with testing the install process. The only changes of minor note are: due to improvements and fixes applied upstream, the previous Compton/VLC workaround package is now rendered obsolete; some basic example templates have been included for Thunar; some depreciated syntax in the default Openbox menu...."

Philip Newborough has announced the availability of an updated set of CrunchBang Linux 11 (code name "Waldorf") development images. This is a lightweight distribution with Openbox based on Debian's testing branch. From the release announcement: "Updated 'Waldorf' images are available now. A good few months have passed since the initial 'Waldorf' images were made available and during this time I received lots and lots of comments, suggests and bug reports. I have done my best to work my way through this feedback and make the necessary changes to improve Waldorf's out-of-the-box experience. What's changed: ARandR has replaced grandr as the default tool to help with configuring multi-screen set-ups; a new GUI app has been developed to help configure the login manager; an additional 486 image has been made available for use on PCs with a single processor not supporting PAE...."

Philip Newborough has announced the availability of the first public testing build of CrunchBang Linux 11, a lightweight desktop distribution with Openbox, now based on Debian "Wheezy": "The first CrunchBang 11 'Waldorf' development builds are now available for testing. For anyone unaware, these are the first builds to be based on Debian 'Wheezy' sources. Wheezy is the current testing branch of Debian and therefore is likely to experience changes, bugs and breakages. These first builds are not recommended for anyone who requires a stable system, or is not happy running into occasional breakages. Of note, the following has changed: SLiM replaces the deprecated GDM; Chromium replaces Iceweasel; Compton replaces xcompmgr and Cairo Composite Manager; PulseAudio is now installed by default." See this forum post for further information and known issues. Download (MD5): crunchbang-11-20120430-i386.iso (676MB, torrent), crunchbang-11-20120430-amd64.iso (642MB, torrent).

Philip Newborough has released an updated set of CrunchBang Linux 10 "Statler" CD images, a lightweight Debian-based distribution featuring the Openbox window manager: "As previously discussed, I have updated the 'Statler' images. The new images do not constitute a new release, at least not for anyone who is content with using the previous 20111125 images. However, due to some concerns which were expressed over the default use of Backports packages, there are now two sets of images, 'stable' and 'backported'. The 'stable' images ship with Debian's stable kernel (2.6.32) and stable X.Org (7.5), while the 'backported' images ship with Linux 3.2 and X.org (7.6) and automatically track any packages that enter the Debian Backports repository. Both sets of images use backported versions of Iceweasel (10.0) and Geany (0.20). Also, GDM has been restored as the default display manager. See this forum post to learn about the changes in this release. Download (MD5): crunchbang-10-20120207-i386.iso (662MB, torrent), crunchbang-10-20120207-amd64.iso (643MB, torrent).

Philip Newborough has announced the release of an updated build of CrunchBang Linux 10, code name "Statler", a lightweight Debian-based distribution featuring the Openbox window manager: "New Statler images have been made available. These new images contain some significant changes since the last release. The main thing to have been removed/retired is the Xfce edition. I love Xfce and I thought about this long and hard, but I really want to concentrate on making CrunchBang give the best possible out-of-the-box Openbox experience possible. Besides, there are plenty of brilliant Xfce-based distributions available, and if you know what you are doing, installing Xfce under Debian is really not too difficult. GDM is the other big loser, being replaced by SLiM. Plymouth, the graphical boot loader, has also gone from the default install." See the release announcement and release notes for more information.
