I'm using Arch Linux which is a strange mixture of the minimalistic Crux Linux, BSD-like initscripts and Slackware Philosophy- although compared to Slackware you have dependencies built in the installation packages, i686 optimization (of course every puter with a PII or newer, and all 64-bit machines will work with it), bleeding edge (almost) packages, and KISS philosophy. Installing it isn't difficult at all (I think easier than Slackware), and once you're familiar with Linux basics and console, its administration is the easiest thing on earth. I have been using it for more than one year almost exclusively, and I couldn't be happier- maybe it's not "stable enough" for usage in a Corporate Server, but for SOHO environment it simply rocks, either as workstation or as a server. Oh, and everything that is free, but not GPL IS there, you can install and use it right-out-of-the-box...N.B. said:
