CrunchBang is a lightweight Linux desktop distribution based on Debian GNU/Linux and using Openbox as the window manager. Its interface looks simple and elegant, catering to personal preferences; the system meets the requirements of being lightweight, consuming fewer resources and offering fast speed; in terms of software selection, it leans towards lightweight options, with most of the pre-installed software being ones I commonly use, saving me the time of installation and configuration; CrunchBang also handles details very well — the desktop already has SYSTEM INFO configured (some people like to see system resource usage on the desktop or taskbar), and there’s a SHORTCUT KEYS feature on the desktop to help newcomers memorize some frequently used shortcuts. According to my habits of using a computer, after installing CrunchBang, it's basically ready to go — wireless networking, external monitors, printers, multi-window support, Google Chrome browser, terminal split-screen display, and more are all set by default, requiring no additional configuration. It’s truly "my" distribution.
