I've just done that weeks ago. Installing crunchbang is not harder than Ubuntu...maybe more boring since there no slogans and nice pictures to see. The problem is the laptop which maybe too old, like mine, ASUS S52A, to support some modern software like Chrome Browser. My machine started to heat up my room after I browse webpage by Chrome.
The rest of the crunchbang is good, but how long can it survive for a old laptop? Let's wait and see.
