Why they are using an unstable Distribution like Ubuntu?
Why they don't take directly Debian GNU/Linux?
Ubuntu based on Debian unstable too, so why they don't simply take Debian testing(more stable then Ubuntu Software and unstable tree Software of Debian)?
The only Thing that will bad on this idea is that there is non really new but stable Software in testing.
I think one Day i will create an absolutly free Debian with an free kernel and only the main packages :)

Crunchbang have a version based on Ubuntu 8.04, which is stable and supported for 3 years on the desktop. I would guess they are using Ubuntu because it has some nice features for desktop systems meaning less work for the Crunchbang developers.
