Re: salix vs. arch

To balance, if I may add from my personal experience with the Arch community, the "hostility" in Arch's forums is not of the "bad" kind. They are like a good and tough teacher who expects you to work at least as hard as he when solving a problem. Personally, I prefer that, it mak...

I use PS2 now.

Re: Gasgow Haskell compiler

Just let me add one thing. I d...

Re: salix vs. arch

Hi. I used Ubuntu, Zenwalk, Salix for a short time, and then Arch. First of all let me say that I think the three distros you mentioned are great. The question is, in my opinion, what you expect from your distribution. I started my way in Linux with Slackware. It was very easy to install, but I had ...
