I expect I'll be able to do some apt-repo magic and switch over to Debian when the next stable release comes out, but I hope there's not too much breakage when I do.
I'm sure someone will share an unofficial crunchbang setup script (based on a minimal debian install) once Jessie becomes stable. Happened in the past already, works very well.
Crunchbang rocks, using it since 2009 on all my machines. Don't feel like moving to something else.
No really major dramas. Run cb-printers before the upgrade to Jessie. Icons do screw up a bit, but easily fixed by installing some similar Gnome 3 icon themes. I'm using cb-waldorf-xoraxiom and "Grey-Icons" at the moment. Everything else seems to work fine.
I really like the #! Openbox experience and have yet to find anything quite like it. I did try Archbang during this re-build process, but wasn't convinced on first viewing. I know I could just install Debian and Openbox myself, but then have to spend a lot of extra time setting up menus, conky etc.
I'll miss #!, as I've really enjoyed it over the last three years. I've no reason to install anything else right now, but in six months I suppose I'll go elsewhere.
One problem I've got is black internal borders on some of my menus (e.g. network-manager panel menu), but it doesn't affect me much and I really can't be bothered to read the docs to sort it out. Any ideas?
This was the good thing about Crunchbang: a lightweight debian install that looked good and needed hardly any configuration to work well.
I installed base Jessie from netinstall image with no desktop, then manually installed slim and openbox, and started from there.
It's much cleaner this way
