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 selected it because it was small and easy to make customized packages. So far it has been working great. Pacman works as well as could be expected, and there are many good packages available.
Of course, it didn't include most of what I needed for the PVR, so I still had to compile from source, but if I want to make packages myself it looks to be a lot easier than for some other distributions.
