Anyone know what happened to the old BunsenLabs distro?
BunsenLabs was my favorite Linux distro back in the day. For years I've kept some of their old config files, &c.. To use on my own version. But more and more they've become broken as things progress ever onward. I was just wondering if anyone knows what happened with them and if they may have moved on to other similar projects?
So they've had a major release last year in December. And their official website seems to be up. Though, I only had luck connecting to it through Tor 😅. It's still active according to Distrowatch. And, honestly, the reader reviews ain't that bad. I'd say give it a spin and consider reporting back on us 🙂.
19You're my damn hero of the day! I haven't checked their site in years! Maybe should've gave it a search before asking... Thank You! I'm definitely gonna try it out! And I'll definitely let the Linux thread know how it's going Again, thank you!
11A lot of the discussion and notes on development happens on their forums.
5Also, if you're the bleeding-edge kind, you can always try their beta ISOs. They released a beta of their next major version "Boron" only last week: https://sourceforge.net/projects/bunsenlabs-releases/
So it's definitely still under active development.

The name rings a bell. Iirc there's a distro that may have followed in its footsteps.
7BunsenLabs itself was a distro that was supposed to be in the spirit of an older discontinued distro, CrunchBang. There was another distro inspired by CrunchBang, CrunchBang++. Not sure exactly how active CB++ is, but there is a version out based on Debian 12, and from what I remember they seem decent and keeping up with Debian at least.
15Yeah! I remember Crunch#. It's how I found BunsenLabs. Always had really great documentation forums, too. Tried the ++, just liked BunsenLabs better.
5Oh maybe I had them mixed up.

Bunsen is so lightweight, I use it on my T40. Still around, and still good.
