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.

Anyone know what happened to the old BunsenLabs distro? (beehaw.org)

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?

#!... That's the right symbols! Knew it was something similar. One of my first, as well. Ran Fedora for a short while, then moved to Ubuntu for ~a year, then onto trying my own flavor of stock Debian. #! did such a better job than I could, and then at (or near) the end of#! I found BunsenLabs, which is my overall favorite. Even gave Arch and Gentoo a real effort for a while. Always came back to BunsenLabs. Learned a huge portion of my Linux knowledge from those old #! forums. A true wealth of information there. Really looking forward to giving the new BunsenLabs a tryout when I catch the time.
