I think the other issue that has been brought up is that Arch is a tool (IMO a very good one) among many; I don't understand the push for monoculture in Linux distros, or in software in general. I think Gentoo (I'm a happy ex-gentooer myself) has a lot going for it, but it's not quite the tool I'm looking for, nor is *Ubuntu or BSD. Arch the way it is right now is the perfect tool for me. If my needs change, Debian, Slack or SuSE might be the tool I need. If stable and conservative is your primary goal, you might want a different tool. It doesn't make you a bad person, or arch a bad distro. If I need to pull a nail, I shouldn't complain because my screw driver doesn't have a nail-pulling attachment; I should go get a claw hammer. I'm very wary of multipurpose things; a good tool isn't made better by making it do more things, or using it for things it wasn't meant to do. I hope I'm not coming off as confrontational, I just get frustrated by the "one distro to rule them all" search. -- Ryan W Sims _______________________________________________ arch mailing list arch@archlinux.org http://archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
