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.

"What is it with this Holier than thou attitude with Linux?"
I don't think this has anything to do with Linux specificaly.
"Lay off the hypocracy. Please."
This is no hypocracy. People always want to be better than other people. "My house is bigger than your house", "my car was more expensive than your car", "my girl friend has more sex than your girl friend", "my job is cooler than your job", "my dad is stronger than your dad" ... it's an age-old pattern. The "my os is better than your os" matches perfectly.
