Crunchbang was the distro that taught me Linux. I needed a *nix style build system for a programming class, and #! looked cool so I went with it. It was a magic moment when I learned how to install software from source.

Sorry, not here to answer your question, just reminiscing. I hope the project is OK.

"Small fry distros" are some of the beauty of Linux exploration.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
