Talk, Rumors, X Versus Y To paraphrase one of the best "Star Trek: The Next Generation" episodes, "Best of Both Worlds", both Arch Linux and Slackware represent the best of all the OS worlds: the power of traditional Unix, the elegance of BSD and the ease of mind of Mac OS X. This is an article outlining the differences between --what I believe-- are the two best Linux distros around today. Mind you though, "best" doesn't always mean "easy".

init 1

For example: this morning I spent 68 minutes of continuous rebooting (while rebooting takes less than a minute) just so my keyboard would work in X (this problem has been reported in bugzilla before and didn't happen but once in a while, until a week ago).

could you have just changed init levels? or used a kernel loader / boot manager instead of cold / warm reboots? just curious.
