If you have a (Free)BSD mindset and like your rc.conf but don't mind typing "pacman" instead of pkg_* or portupgrade -P * and you don't mind using something called ABS for src packages, which is like ports, only with a stage install before live-system install, then you may just like ArchLinux. I tried many but besides Debian, Arch is the only one I really enjoyed toying with. Haven't used Arch on serious production system, but it appears that other people do. Gentoo is nice (and keeps you busy/entertained) until it blows up on you. Just my 0.02 as a long time FreeBSD user. The linux I used most was Debian but that was long ago before I landed at BSD. Dan
