CrunchBang is an Ubuntu-based OS designed to offer a good balance of speed and functionality.

Advantages over Ubuntu

It comes with the ability to play most popular media formats—including MP3, DVD playback and Adobe Flash. CrunchBang comes with many popular applications installed in the box—including Firefox 3 web browser, VLC media player, Rhythmbox music player, Xfburn CD/DVD writer, Audacity audio recorder, GIMP for image and photo editing, AbiWord, Skype and Deluge BitTorrent Client.

What it lacks

This distro takes pride in not being brown like Ubuntu but isn't as beautiful. It also lacks Open Office suite. The default stat panel that you can see in the screenshot—I don't understand the need for always having to see what's the memory usage of my computer. Nonetheless, it's worth giving it a try for all those who have been forced to revert back from Ubuntu to Windows because they couldn't play their collection of music on the Linux distribution.
