Will there be a 9.04 repository? More importantly, is there any way to get an ssh server (aside from compiling from source)? I was really hoping to set up an old notebook PC with #! to use for an internal network and UPS monitor, but without sshd, that won't be very workable.

TIA, RO

@RO: I moved CrunchBang Linux to its own domain late last year, this is page is somewhat outdated. Please see: http://crunchbanglinux.org

Regarding the SSH server, yes it is possible, I would suggest posting on the forums if you require assistance setting it up: http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums

Hope this helps. :)
