A few months ago I was a Slackware Junkie. I loved it, and laughed at those who used 'more automatic' distributions (ok, I didn't actually laugh). Then Arch Linux 0.5 came out and I was very intrigued by it. I was getting tired of having to compile updated packages myself.

I've a concern about reader-contributed OS reviews. That's right: lately, all of these reviews tend to be highly _opinionated_ in one form or another of "OS XYZ (which I'm reviewing here) is better than OSs ABC and DEF, or all OSs for that matter". I find this slightly unnerving, to say the least. This is a news site, and not an opionion-spread-o-mat. From what I understand, at least. And there's also always the forums.
Ben: Sorry for the hard words, no offense against you, personally, intended. I found your above review to be well-structured, and it contains all information I'd have asked for. Thanks for taking the time and writing it.
