CrunchBang is an excellent version of Linux to run in VirtualBox due to the fact that it’s a nimble Openbox Linux distribution. That being said, the OS still requires tweaking after install in a VM to get the most performance and satisfaction out of it. I’ve put together a guide to walk one through the installation and optimization settings. So take this opportunity to grab the requisite softwares:
- VirtualBox 4.3.8
- CrunchBang Linux (recommend the 32-bit non-PAE)
And then click here to see how it’s done.
