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.

It looks like a nice alternative to Gentoo. Sometimes you don't want to wait a few hours to have the new gnome or widget to compile. I really think the BSD way of installing packages is the best. long live ports!
I'll try to find a space box somewhere in a dark corner full of dust to try it
