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 πŸ˜…. 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 πŸ™‚.

You'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!

Also, 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.

I was just reading up on that very thing. I may have a chance to try it one evening this week.

The name rings a bell. Iirc there's a distro that may have followed in its footsteps.

BunsenLabs 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.

Yeah! I remember Crunch#. It's how I found BunsenLabs. Always had really great documentation forums, too. Tried the ++, just liked BunsenLabs better.
