Released #! CrunchBang Linux 04/09/01

After a short delay , the CrunchBang Linux distribution came on 9.04.01, which distinguishes the use of the Openbox window manager from others. As the version number suggests, the distribution is based on Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope. Like all previous releases, 04/04/01 was built from scratch from Ubuntu MinimalCD. Work on the build was completed July 6, 2009, the images contain all the security updates and the latest packages available at the time. The main difference from Ubuntu is the minimalistic interface and window manager of Openbox.
