I switched to crunchbang when I got a new laptop and it's a pleasure to work on and has been useful for getting more experience in terminal. Building your own menus has also helped me keep everything very streamline, I only add what is actually necessary, rather than having tons of programs I used once or twice waste space.

For vps/server I prefer centos/debian.

edit: also wanted to add that crunchbang has run much faster for me than lubuntu which I previously was using. Generally ~200-250mb ram, boots extremely quick as well. It will run great on an old junk pc, or a new workstation.
