I can't say that I have used CRUX, but I have used a 'derivitave' of CRUX, Arch. Arch keeps a lot of what CRUX has, without being source based and is actually a full sized distribution. I love Arch, and use it daily as my main distro. I think though, that I love it so much for what CRUX inspired in it (The lack of GUI config helpers, the KISS philosophy, BSD style initscripts, etc.)

That's exactly why I went to Arch too, but I was bored with Ubuntu (back in its 5.10 days.) and some other distros that I was using at the time (GoblinX etc.). I have changed a few times since then, but I keep coming back to Arch (I switched to: PC-BSD, Ubuntu 6.06, Gentoo, Ark Linux - for my Girlfriend..., SuSe Linux, etc.) CRUX looks good, and I would consider using it if it wasn't source based. I may still look at it though.
